Syrian Sanctuary in the Snow

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

For one small group of Syrian refugees this week’s Nordic Skiing World Championships in Sweden had special resonance. Since escaping the fighting in the Middle East a small group of female Syrian refugees have been part of a project, that includes refugees from other parts of the world, helping them integrate into Swedish life. The best way to do that is through skiing. Their immediate goal was a place in the relay competition at the 2015 championships. As Radio Sweden's Nathalie Rothschild reports Picture Credit: Getty
