Monday August 31, 2026, Chaos Kitchen Voku for MiGreat. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.
Although it has been the only registration point for asylum seekers in the Netherlands, Ter Apel has implemented a ‘controlled access’ policy over the past few months, meaning that only those deemed most vulnerable are allowed in.
As a result, over a hundred people are forced to wait outside of the centre for an indefinite time, in hope of eventually being able to apply for asylum and receive care. In a situation where most organisations have ceased their operations due to rising tensions on the site, MiGreat has continued to provide assistance to those waiting outside, providing tents, sleeping bags, beverages & other kinds of much needed support.
Alongside this acute, practical support, MiGreat is also actively challenging the structural causes of the broken asylum system and working against the brutal border regime, which is ineffective, harmful and deadly.
Chaos Kitchen is raising money for MiGreat to support the fight for freedom and equality in a world without borders. Donation based. […Lees verder]

Sunday July 26, 2026, movie night: Shadow Game (Eefje Blankevoort, Els van Driel, 2021), documentary with English subtitles. Door opens at 20:00, movie and presentation start at 20:30. Free entrance, donations welcome to support No Name Kitchen (NNK).
Everyday teenagers who have fled their war-torn countries try to cross Europe’s borders in search of protection and a better life. They travel through a shadow world we never see: a world of minefields, bears, fast-flowing rivers, smugglers and border guards. ‘The game’ is the bitterly ironic term for crossing borders that has become commonplace among these young refugees. Risking their lives, the teenagers undertake a treacherous journey that often takes months or even years. Along the way, they grow up fast. Shadow Game is a journey through the dark side of Europe with teenage refugees as our guides. Shadow Game is a transmedia project by Eefje Blankevoort and Els van Driel. It consists of a feature-length documentary, a web series, an adventure game and a photo series in collaboration with Cigdem Yuksel. Trailer of the movie: https://vimeo.com/514264176
The proceeds of this screening will go to No Name Kitchen (NNK), a grassroots organisation committed to defending the rights of people on the move across European border countries.

SolidarityLine Croatia (SLC) is a distress hotline for people on the move, supporting those within Croatian territory. The aim of SLC is to assist those in physical danger—whether injured, facing health issues, stranded in forests, freezing, or drowning—as well as those at risk of push backs, in need of asylum access, detained or missing.
SLC supports also people and relatives that are looking for they loved ones that are disappeared on the route. In many cases families contact SLC after loosing the contact with their brothers, nephews, relatives that were crossing the border. SLC in doing this collaborates with 4D. 4D is a migrant justice database operating since many years and focused on documenting human losses that occur on the so-called Balkan Route.
Since May 1st 2026 until today, at least 13 people have died in Croatian territory and along the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia. 13 people in 10 days, in different moments and under different circumstances. The money raised with this people’s kitchen will not go to the SLC, but rather to the costs of a funeral or repatriation of a recent victim of the border regime.

Monday March 30, 2026, Benefit voku for Prosfygika, bluegrass folk live with Sherman Potatoe en Thijs Vrolijk. Vegan food from 19:00, no reservation. Music on the stage from 20:30. Free entrance, donations more than welcome.
We’ll off course update you about the current situation at Prosfygika and in Athens. We’ll also have live music on the stage with two solo acts touring soup kitchens around the Netherlands. Get ready for Sherman potatoe (Blue Grass hillbilly folk, Hannover https://shermanpotatoe.bandcamp.com ) and Thijs Vrolijk (Americana Blue Grass, Groningen).
The neighborhood of Prosfygika was built in 1933 to accommodate refugees from Asia Minor. A lively neighborhood with community characteristics was established, consisting mostly of working class people. In 1944, the anti-fascist partisans used Prosfygika as a shelter against the Greek and British state army. After years of abandonment, Prosfygika has been increasingly reclaiming its original purpose as many refugees, migrants, poor, Greek and foreigner working class people have sought to resolve their need for housing by squatting the empty flats. Today, it is one of the largest building complexes in the center of Athens, which has not yet accepted the gentrification and exploitation that comes from big capital and the state apparatus. During the last decade, there were fourth attempts to evict and plunder the squatted neighborhood. In 2026, Prosfygika is more than ever under the threat of repression and eviction, the State not hiding any more its intention to take over Prosfygika, evicting a few hundreds of people.
Hands off Prosfygika! The Community of Squatted Prosfygika will not let Mitsotakis and his gang of thieves destroy such a monumental neighborhood. The whole movement is already mobilized and has announced fierce resistance.
