Migrantour with the International People’s College- IPC
Organised by the Anna Lindh Danish Network, the event was a collaboration between Crossing Borders as Head of the Network and International People’s College as a member. The purpose of the Migrantour is to train and empower immigrants to tell their stories and the stories of the neighbourhoods they call home from their perspectives. The guides of the tour were Furkan Akay from Turkey and Maryam Alaouie from Lebanon.
After taking part in her first migrantour, Crossing Borders volunteer Margaret Maged Maher from Egypt wrote the following piece on her experience:
On my second day in Denmark 15 November 2023, I had one of the best experiences I’ve had in learning about a world I wasn’t aware of! How can one neighbourhood contain all these landmarks that highlight so many cultures?
I never thought that when I came to Denmark, I would see so much diversity and different ethnicities from many cultural backgrounds from all over the world.
On this migrant tour I was one of 23 international students from various countries including Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Japan, Korea, Mexico and Vietnam. After coffee and croissants, we were taken on exciting tour of NørreBro starting from the Cultural House UNION and through some 5 landmarks in the Nørrebro neighborhood which ranks as the coolest neighbourhood in the world in 2021 according to Time Out magazine.
Each landmark has its own story about the cultural background those immigrants brought along with and how they integrated into this new world while maintaining their own identity. The neighbourhood has both been shaped by as it shapes the new cultures.
At the end of the tour, I discovered that the migrant tour is one of the most important activities that emotionally affect a person and make him more connected to where he is.
Syrian Documentary Days
Syrian Doc Days, short for Syrian Documentary Film Days, is dedicated to stories about Syria that go beyond the general narrative. The festival took place in Copenhagen from the 22nd of November till the 26th organized by the Syrian Docs in collaboration with Crossing Borders, MS Action Aid, Union Cultural House, and online news outlet Globalnyt.
The festival included film screenings, talks, and other cultural activities. On the 24th there was a screening of the documentary, We Are the Giant. This film takes us on a journey through the revolutions of dignity in Libya, Syria, and Bahrain. Released in early 2014, it sheds light on the events that unfolded in these regions.
The screening was follow up by a panel discussion on what had happened in the region ever since 2011, what we have learned about revolutions and the forces that back dictatorships, and the importance of solidarity among the movements for democracy.
The panel members comprised the Sudanese political cartoonist Khalid al Baih, Bahraini human rights activist Maryam Alkhawaja, Afghani activist Manilla Ghafouri, and Syrian activist Wafa Ali Mustafa.
Annual Assembly 2023
On November 23rd, Crossing Borders hosted a captivating night of international collaboration. The event featured powerful presentations, poetry performances, and musical delights by extraordinary artists and human rights advocates including Danish - Bahraini Human Rights Advocate Maryam Al Khawaja, Danish -Malian Slam Poet Sarah Diallo, Afghan author and poet Dr. Hamed Samay, and Syrian-German artist Ghays Mansour.
This event provided an exceptional platform to highlight the work of the DK ALF members and how these resonate with and the shed light on the mission, values, and goals the Anna Lindh Foundation. The evening served as a unique opportunity to attract new members and amplify awareness about the foundation's impactful initiatives.

General Information
Passepartout Theatre Production (PTP) was formed in 2007 in Copenhagen by theatre director, dramatist, actor Jacques S. Matthiessen together with dramaturge, actor Peter Sloth Madsen. PTP is a Nordic theatre association with a specific selected committee, consisting of talented people with different skills and backgrounds. The frame or the “Passepartout” is based on a national and international network, where the main focus is to establish possibilities for production, finance and performance between Nordic countries and other countries. For PTP it is important, that all theatre productions have a high quality level within professionalism and artistic expression. In 08/09 PTP created two cross-cultural family performances in Mali and Nepal. Both performances were played over 50 times and were furthermore on a three-week-tour in Denmark. Among other projects can be mentioned • A youth collaboration project in Mozambique • Theatre project with streetkids in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. • Cultural exchange with theatre artists from Burkina Faso, Mali, Nepal and Lebanon. PTP has no continuously budgetary resources available, apart from membership subscriptions. All financing happens through fundraising. In the theatrical season 2008/2009 PTP received 915.000 Dkr. through fundraising and in 2010/2011 900.000 Dkr. through fundraising. PTP’s main partners involved in the association’s projects are 1) Danish Center for Culture and Development: CKU/DCCD. http://www.dccd.dk/dccd/cku.nsf 2) Danish Art Council: Statens Kunstråd. http://www.kunst.dk/statens-kunstraad 3) Danish Embassy’s.
Mission and Objectives
Passepartout Theatre Production (PTP) regard it as the most distinguished duty to act as the Nordic theatre platform for unique cross-cultural theatre in order to promote and extend intercultural understanding which is more actual and necessary than ever before, because of migration and international trade. Integration between people, culture and diversity happens through working together and it is PTP’s ambition to embrace cultural diversity within theatrical expression and artistic individuality and the association aims to work from an equal cultural collaboration between the individual participants artistic visions and professional qualifications. Because of financial and technical reasons it can, however, be difficult to carry through intercultural artistic projects. More important was the absence of a production platform or a production office for the work with cross-cultural theatre productions and PTP was created to complete that specific need for an association that exclusively focuses on cross-cultural productions in a wide perspective. It is PTP’s mission to collaborate with both industrialised countries and less developed countries around the world – an anthropological theatrical collaboration. The organisation strives for developing a synergy effect between the diverse cultures and thereby hopefully create a better cross-cultural understanding.
Main Projects / Activities
Spring 2011 - a cross-cultural collaboration between Lebanon and Denmark. The creation of 2 puppet theatre performances for children with the theme: The 3 Generations: Old, adult, child. We are working on a theatre collaboration between Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Burkina Faso in 2012.
