The Wurst Guide to Living in Austria Folgen

No, this is not a guide to being an asylum-seeker in Austria, yet rather a guide to what it is like to be seeking asylum in this country. Spoiler alert: It's not pretty.  We speak to the press pro, Maren Riebe, at the independent organisation, Das Flüchtlingsprojekt Ute Bock, who dedicate their days to helping those seeking asylum in Austria. We gain a fascinating insight into the lives of these people who arrive here seeking protection from some f*** up war or government that want them silenced (or worse), but instead, get stuck in the Austrian government's broken asylum process. What specifically do we talk about? + What it's like when you first arrive here as an asylum-seeker + The stories of the many asylum-seekers stuck in the asylum application process for decades  + What it's like to work with these people on a daily basis and where hope can be found + The major misconceptions around the topic of asylum-seekers + How the words we use can affect people's lives and perceptions + The incredible force of a human being, Ute Bock + How we can help in practical and meaningful ways And much more...
