The reverse of wealth – Causes of fleeing

In: resources

What has our lifestyle got to do with the current situation at Europe’s borders? Our clothes, our food, our smartphone – where do they come from, who is producing these goods and who is paying the price for them? We compiled material that documents what’s often not mentioned in the heated debates on migration: that the rich industrial countries themselves established causes of flight and migration, since colonialism. In order to take responsibility we don’t want to confine ourselves to an analysis of what should be done on a general level, but to ask what we can do in our everyday lives to contribute to a fairer world.
