#9 How to be an asylum-seeker in Austria?

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...
