A twenty-minute drive from Ouranoupolis (a small sea-shore village of north Greece), along the border that divides Mount Athos from the rest of the world, a refugee camp served by a Christian Orthodox male monastery is suggested as a theoretical response to a number of issues rising from religious and geopolitical border conditions. The camp is situated outside of the border, and the monastery inside of the border.
