The crisis is putting pressure on the world’s governments to collaborate on ways to protect refugees, house them, and integrate them into new communities. 

This month America Abroad teams up with NPR BerlinZócalo, and Democracy International for a binational discussion on what Europe and the United States should be doing to respond to the crisis. Join NPR’s Jacki Lyden for a frank discussion on what can be done.
