Greetings! Welcome to our podcast! This podcast will give an overview of migration and elaborate on its impact in India and Bangladesh. It will also introduce existing migration laws and potential solutions to the political tension between the nations, religious differences, and drastic effects of climate change. We will introduce a Bangladeshi immigrant and show how experiences like his have been commemorated in filmography. We h ope you enjoy it!
Hello listeners! Have you ever wondered what makes people leave their homeland and move to a foreign land altogether? What makes them change their entire lifestyle? How do they adjust to a drastically new environment and culture with new people that converse in unfamiliar tongues? Our podcast gives you the answer to all these questions and many more! Join us as we trace migration from Syria to Germany with real-life stories from migrants and critically analyse the push and pull factors that influence migration.
In our documentary film we are raising the issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and it’s impact on forced migration between these twocountries.
We explain the roots and history of the conflict, the help provided to the migrants by the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency), the migration laws and the socio-economic situation of the refugees. Beginning with Palestinian Exodus of 1948, 85% of the Palestinian Arabs fled or were expelled from their homes, followed by a series of laws passed by the first Israeli government that prevented Arabs from returning to their homes or claiming their property. The refugee status has been tough since the exodus. The Palestinian refugees settled camps throughout the Arab world. The Arab League instructed its members to deny Palestinians citizenship ‘to avoid dissolution of their identity and protect their right of return to their homeland’, which made their conditions gruesome. The Palestinian socioeconomic crisis has now reached a breaking point.
We have focused a significant part of our presentation on personal stories of migrants. We discuss the stories of children, of a family, of a expect ant mother and an elderly citizen, all of whom had to migrate due to the conflict. We’ve drawn a comparison between migrants and refugees to deepen our understanding of this project. What we’ve recognised through this project is our privilege and how we c an use it to help those less fortunate especially during trying times. We firmly believe that in today’s day and age, giving shouldn’t be a choice anymore but a way of living.
Hello everyone! Welcome to our podcast. Our topic of discussion is about the phenomenon of migration and specifically case study of two countries - USA and Mexico. An array of topics are covered in our podcast: factors involved in migration; the policies that shaped the flow and its effects; artwork by people and stories of people who have experienced migration. We hope you will enjoy hearing our podcast and learn something new in the process.
