Listen "Episode 7: Nina's Story"
Episode Synopsis
Ever heard of the passport index? It ranks nationalities by mobility score, the ease of use in travelling to and living in other countries. What passports do you think are the best to possess?
What happens when two passport holders, one at the top of the index and the other towards the middle, meet? We hear of the story of Nina, an immigrant from Ecuador living in Spain, and how her meeting with a Belgian sparked a connection, as well as a will to understand the challenges immigrants have to face.
Nina's story shows us that immigration is more than policy and statistics on a spreadsheet.
