Ready to have your perspective shaken and stirred? Join me, Stephen Barden, as I sit down with Peter Ruhenstroth Bauer, the Head of the UN's Refugee organization in Germany. I hope this episode will help provide a global perspective of the massive migration of people in the world. I hope, too, it will break down those assumptions so many of us in the richer countries hold.
Most refugees just want to live the good life in your country?
Not true:they just want to be home, in peace.
Most refugees into Europe come from Africa?
Think again: a disproportionate number hail from just three countries - Syria, Ukraine, and Afghanistan.
We switch gears to discuss the plight of refugees in Germany and the intricacies of the EU's policies. We explore the often fraught process of refugee resettlement, shedding light on the rights and privileges granted to refugees in Germany. We also consider the power of education in reshaping the narrative around refugees. As we wrap up the conversation, we look at the potential of platforms like our Migrant Odyssey podcast series to foster understanding and empathy around forced migration. Listen in, and engage in the conversation.
