German and Ukrainian youth participate in a project examining the attitudes towards refugees in Germany and Ukraine. The project was organized to further understand these attitudes, while also sharing the stories of refugees that would otherwise not be heard.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kyiv, August 19, 2016.<\/strong> Four personal stories of Ukrainian IDPs (internally displaced persons) in the form of four multimedia projects will be presented in Kyiv. This is the result of a week\u2019s communication between young people from Germany, their Ukrainian colleagues, and IDPs within the framework of the project \u201cWho Are These People: Faces of Forced Displacement in Ukraine and Germany\u201d. The project started six months ago as a common idea of \u200b\u200bUkrainian and German activists to explore society\u2019s attitude towards refugees. Currently, it is the topical issue in both countries. “We wanted to erase the stereotypical attitude, the labels of “refugee” and “IDP”, and see who these people actually are through their personal stories,” said Yevgenia Reznichenko, NGO \u201cAgency for Free Development\u201d, Kyiv, at a press briefing held at Ukraine Crisis Media Center. \u201cWe wanted to meet young refugees, talented young people who have little chances to tell about themselves. Most of the time, they are seen as a huge crowd coming to Germany that don\u2019t really have faces of their own, but they have interesting stories to tell. We wanted them to share their stories, so that we could listen to them and understand them,\u201d said Ronja Lebeda, NGO \u201cESW\u201d, Germany.<\/p>\n

The project has two stages. The first stage started on August 13. A group of young people from Germany arrived in Kyiv for a week to communicate with IDPs and make a project about them. The participants did not only discuss the refugee’s phenomenon and related problems, but also arranged various cultural exchange activities to learn more about each other. “We got the chance to get first-hand experience as we talked to a person who lived in Crimea. He told us about his experiences. We also talked to volunteers working with IDPs. This helped us to really understand what is going on and what had happened,\u201d said Greta Take, project member. “It is very interesting, not only to German young people, but to all to us. For the most part, we do not know who these people are, what problems they face, or what they dream about,” said Ester Petrovska, project member.<\/p>\n

Analyzing the problem from a historical viewpoint, based on World War II examples, the project participants saw that despite different times and circumstances, there is much in common between the situation of Jewish refugees and today\u2019s IDPs and refugees from Syria. “What struck us most was that the attitude towards people seeking refuge has not changed since that time. Then, they said that Jewish refugees could be agents of the Nazis, now some people say that IDPs from Donbas may be separatists and Syrian refugees \u2013 terrorists,” said Yevgenia Reznichenko.<\/p>\n

Young IDPs from Donbas\/Crimea and Syrian refugees proved to have similar problems – difficult financial situation, distrust of society, and problems with visas. There was a case even within the project: a participant from Germany, also a Syrian refugee, could not come to Ukraine because he had a refugee passport. “According to procedure, we had to issue the invitation through the Migration Service. The Migration Service said that they \u2018do not know what to do with a refugee passport\u2019 and we could not invite him. Unfortunately, neither the Ukrainian Embassy in Berlin, nor the Consulate in D\u00fcsseldorf expressed any desire to help or to make a step away from the set procedure,\u201d explained Yevgenia Reznichenko. \u201cIt is significant for our theme, because Ukraine is a signatory to the UN Convention on Refugees, under which he has his passport, and yet Ukraine allowed itself to ignore it.”<\/p>\n

The second group, consisting of Ukrainians, will go to Germany in January. “They will examine the situation in Germany and talk to refugees. The only thing is that we have more experts on the multimedia while they – on the theater. So, they will work more with art tools,” noted Yevgenia Reznichenko.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
