Response Location: Germany, Geisenhausen, Bavaria

Česko odmítá uprchlické kvóty. Místní politici říkají, že společnost není na příchod a integraci utečenců připravená. Budují v lidech strach z toho, že migrace rozvátí zemi. Zcela odlišný obraz uprchlické krize nabízí sousední Bavorsko. Tato spolková země integrovala tisíce uprchlíků, kterým pomohla naučit se německy, najít si bydlení i najít a udržet si zaměstnání.

Response Location: Turkey, Kilis Merkez, Kilis

Refugee camps typically look like a prison with squalid conditions and barbed wire tops.

The camp is not run by the United Nations, but rather it is Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency that oversees every detail and pours billions of dollars into maintaining it every year.

Child Friendly Spaces in Kilis, a city with a huge Syrian refugee population, and UNICEF’s art program in Jordan’s refugee camp, try to address the mental health of refugees, who are often dealing with great trauma. “If we think these refugees only need food, clothes or medicine, we are looking at them like animals.” Organizers that run these programs say these programs are critical and needed to address the psychological effects of war.
