It can be done: Small-scale hosting of refugees across Europe

High school teacher Antonio Silvio Calò hosted six African refugees in his own home who now speak Italian well and have permanent jobs and their own homes. "My wife and I and our four children are ordinary people. If we can do it, the state and the municipalities can do it". The European parliament elected him European Citizen of 2018. Calò has derived a small-scale refugee hosting model from his experience that municipalities from six European countries are implementing with funds from the European Commission. He shared his story and innovative ideas with Dutch journalist Silke Wallenburg, telling her: "Let others judge me". This book is his way of seeking constructive dialogue with others, from refugees to European politicians, from businesspeople to editors-in-chief, from the left to the right.
