The world is interconnected in ways it has never been before. With social media, television, and the internet, people have more in common than ever, while at the same time challenged to live together and experience each other's cultures in a way not experienced in the past. This interconnection has caused as many conflicts as it has benefits. People and governments are more aware of social injustices, revolutions, and environmental issues - aware that they must work together now more than ever. More people are not living in their native countries, temporarily or permanently. Including refugees, which has been a hot topic in Europe in the past few years and will continue to be a topic of discussion in the future. This intercultural world, this changing world, needs people who are willing to have these tough conversations. To face their own ideas, potential prejudice, thoughts, straight on and create a constructive conversation about it. There is a need for thoughtful, open, cultured, youth who are willing and ready to make a change in their community and in turn, the world. This is what we want in our own communities, and why we want to do this project.
Aim of the project
Understanding and discussing the refugee situation, the responsibilities, and the development by focusing on the recent history of refugees in Europe and surrounding countries
