TRUE TALK
In small groups, Mist members organise workshops and produce podcasts out of collective discussions. They freely discuss subjects chosen collectively and record themselves using the radio equipment owned by the association. They are all responsible for the discussions and the content of the podcasts they produce. At the end of the sessions, they decide together which extracts are to be broadcast.

Saison 3 : Seven days to change your life
Coaching by and for those most affected.
In a 7-episode program, a group of 8 women tackle the thorny issue of “change”. Looking back on their own journeys, they address the many challenges of emancipation and healing, and deliver a powerful coaching and training tool in the purest Mist tradition of peer support.
This program was made possible by the Voice Over project, co-funded by the European Union. Thanks also to the Fondation de France for supporting the mental health of exiles.
Saison 2 : True talk, Life after.
As part of weekly discussion groups on the theme of “life after the street”, Mist members record their own podcasts and broadcast them for other victims in Europe.
What are the challenges of this new life? How do you overcome them? How do you talk about them, break taboos and encourage support for each other in this new battle?
These recordings are a genuine individual and collective therapeutic tool; they began in September 2021 and are still ongoing.

“So, girls I was asking this question : what was the pain and the anger when you get to Europe ? How did you feel ? Did anybody ask you about the travel when you get to Europe and how was Libya ? Did your family ask you those questions ? Did you talk to anybody about it ? Do they care to listen to you ? Do they care to hear from you to know what you went through, those trauma, those pain, those suffering, those anger that you went through in Libya ?” You can catch up on Episode 10 of TRUE TALK Season 2 here. Let’s join our hands together and fight for the long-term assistance for the victims of human trafficking.

Episode 6
In 2017, the French President declared that what happened in Libya was human trafficking and a crime against humanity. In 2021, he said “France has a debt to Libya and the Libyan people: a decade of disorder”. Today, Mist members would like to ask @emmanuelmacron a question: what about the debt of the French state to the victims of this crime against humanity, sold and exploited in Libya during these ten years of disorder? Thousands of them are living in France today without shelter or documents. Why is it so difficult for us to have protection and the right to stay in France, while you know so well what we have endured?
