desperate for a press a lot millions of people have sought refuge in europe sometimes their dreams sank 3 unwelcome realized sometimes disenchantment was to listen dry food have been the 1st of 2 films on these conflicting experiences people in power has been to the gym and switching but generosity and open house just have been making the mark with the great play.

santa. this is joining us. now. to go all month and this is you. know the skin of what is then the one hand palm as a hobby and the musculoskeletal mean that in she. saud a mother of 4 is a refugee in germany after her husband was badly injured in an isis attack in iraq she had to flee the country with her children and find safety in europe. trying.

anyway as for so many others before and since getting to safety was difficult and sometimes dangerous thank god it said doing. something i thought i should see on your side and i let them know. this guy was all she had meant about him until kid. she didn't want to. join anymore. he did then moved and then did so and you know you know until. now so i didn't have family i settled in debts mold a small city in north west and generally animals do not. want to bid on my land there he had a buffer so i. must get that been here at least understood this mission in 6 months at this point. since 20

foot team germany has taken in more than one and a half 1000000 refugees. the majority from the middle east and north africa. upon arrival most are assigned to a new boomtown by the german government selected according to its population size and the standard of living. as a school does its leg. on the fence to no desire to get on the scrap. of a such a huge risk to his startup i lined us. to see our factories it was going to be at least kind of the water and they think if you don't jump. on this with your. debts mode with around 70000 inhabitants was asked to accept 700 migrants equivalent to about one percent of its population. the initial public response was

cautious we started to give you some of my good and for gave but that's hardly a tribute to. my family to feel it mention of name on the. british doctrine the bush can think of and every 2 weeks i think there's another. tell us. and when we don't have each other then. it's i don't know it doesn't have a sense and. but as the refugees arrived detmold reacted positively to its new residents in large part because of the concerted efforts of integration made by the municipality the aim then and since has been to encourage as much interaction possible between the locals and the refugees through social events goodbyes by the authorities. cafe wellcome is just one example where anyone can come forward and ask questions over was their concerns and we had people asking things like why do

they come here and they claim our money but they have the newest smart that's supposed to be poor so it's an idea if they actually supposed to be poor otherwise they can't be refugees you need to have someone who is who is responding to those sort of questions and does give you the facts that you need to know and i think in that way we still experience a very privileged position because a lot of the population of that might really have said we want to make this work and we really want to be a city that welcomes refugees. one result of this imaginative integration process is that so hard to hold children have discovered a new passion. for acting. they're part of a drama group called fragile theater drawn mainly from refugees.

to professional performers marianne from france and her german friend needs to run the project so that was mine. the group has been brought together in this who paid for by the local authority to rehearse for a forthcoming public performance. i. to put this in. to go to. the group is going to be performing a piece inspired by their own stories you know just.

come to. my school now and then wonder. because they're. going to. do. things. on the. side. that's. not. so. to do. and they don't know that i like to play but there i see myself just something. you

can see me a misfiring and i'm talking. people are i mean they're loving and you are joking but after all this drama when i'm alone sometimes i. so when i play with the former speaker forget. 33 year old emmanuel jerome comes originally from south sudan and has been in detmold for 2 and a half years. but his future is uncertain. unable to return home because his life is still at risk he applied for asylum 18 months ago and is still waiting to hear whether he will be allowed to stay in germany. in the meantime he's been relying on the charity of others and lives in this apartment in a retirement home owned by a local church so. maybe i'm delighted to see you sir.

chairman of. the house when a firm. supporter everyone is there for. even i could feel i thought i. was old and work until anything. so. he was forced to leave his family a mother and sisters back in sudan a country torn apart by war and famine he called back to display photos of them in his apartment. here. well it's so hard luck to look at them and been 6 years without seeing them. even the pope was there in the fall sometime his facial i mean he's them so much i want to talk to them but when i talked with them i was like why did i call so like i because i don't want to hear what is happening in other we

never talk even when we call us we are just crying you know she's crying with us crying crying my not. good i knew. mario and the director of the drama group has come to visit. this year should he says here yeah in preparation for the performance marianne wants to find out more about how emanuel came to germany and how he's been managing since he got to detmold his story along with those of the other refugee act is will be woven into the script i think ted as you know being. told to must i think it could as you just saw i think the time when yes did this and just focus on the if that is shifted then yes you put his what do what does it mean for you safety for. safety it's like a place where always use it and if you feel that that is

a lot of people people who love you around you. if that is what people who love your show you don't feel as if. we are people we are you know we have all this and that's why we come to you at all because for for letting you know that is all that i had to. do for a descent of a part of the house district a lot of different country or disk risk and this was the will of the field that he is dead as you are right so we feel like if it's a whole lot of us if it's. emmanuel isn't the only one who's being encouraged to make his voice heard through the theater so i was also keen to show how positive experience of arrival in germany and to gratitude at the welcome has received. even the thoughts of home a never far away quietly and out day. oh hi there was any of. those she knows that in comparison to other refugees she and her children

a fortunate they come from one of the 5 countries given priority status by the german state iraq syria iran eritrea and so malia their applications are processed more rapidly and help is provided more quickly upon their arrival the family were housed briefly in an abandoned military base before being moved to move into commendation the city pays their rent and the cost of heating. up almost the same detail hamas want to see and deal with name calling on him that allows the call to. go on early on. in addition to the housing so odd receives around $1000.00 euros a month to support herself and her family and to children were immediately inroad in local schools. 18 months after their arrival 7 year old that i one now speaks german as well as she speaks arabic and is even

starting to learn english i can't stand you. when when you that there's good to be here in. fact. a local charity worker sabina has been helping the family through their arrival in germany needs to decide. who is going to get home. today she has some good news for so our son who is ambitious to one day be an electrical engineer has managed to find him some vocational training which will begin in a few weeks. but these are follow from jokes and you know i was just a little you know it was rather distributed pushing some color kind on for only one day and when you have something new or interesting to so you know it's all fairy tales are coming here from syria and iran want to study quite difficult to

adapt to the german system that quickly to get into the language that you're covering that led me to study 2 countries another way you can do a project and if you want to lose study the training electrical engineering you do in a friend you should like it as an electrician and you have loads of knowledge. as part of its integration program the german government has insisted that all new arrivals learn german. every morning so on sets off to school for 4 hours of lessons. any model their body their stalls any fee that may also that much you'll be always how we am are highly. yeah sure it would be more. than british stands a bit i'm all for names i know cargo but to you doug. as i want to i know fargo when cummins even visited me to own your vicinity mit's i'm here with all.

the land in morse that izzy indulged let me leave and. here you did this much to play a against such fun you must be my young but she's funny and easy again you know if you don't see him live and if you're laying there to doing his duty. as to who would start out the shadow i know fargo didn't order the book. did anyone in the yeti really know like there is nothing good to see how do you know i. think that she will be from so much in the. house. at. 19 it's about well living in germany speaking a little bit but not fluent to you so it's not a problem when you make some mistakes we have an examination. at the end of this

course and a basic the most important thing is that they can speak and we can understand. our language lessons are funded by the state and free for refugees from the 5 countries given party status by the german government but the oversubscribed with 200000 people nationally still in need of a place it means that not all the refugees in detmold have received the same treatment. you are going to run forward on these kids or have to get a friend market bubbles in the us he brought them to invest. it better than it was a shelf of proof is true to each of you i'm sure you talked off the shelf address in case you. say he had time but i guess it is because he is from sudan which isn't on the government's priority list emanuel doesn't have access to as much support as other refugees so it's something of a sore point. over the how about until up to make the general calls for free. it

felt to me that you don't know how to play what i said. why not me and live for years it's not like i would if you used other people. the language problem is still a common stumbling block to full integration there's plenty of work here in theory . in 2014 germany opened its doors to refugees promising gainful employment. with an aging population and affording both for you the country's and die in need of manpower but like many thousands of others emanuel will only really benefit when he can speak german competently. staying in recently or in the meantime he's restricted to unskilled work only $350.00 euros a month reasons from coming here. for now emmanuel works for a charitable organization it collects unwanted funicello to distribute free of

charge to low income households. we just take it to our place and if i. decide needs someone is a need to come in our place. and if you see that something is going to take it. this is like shopping but without money. i understand the cereals need when someone is something so when i go dad and some people come into don't have anything in to get something it's making yourself feel good. how much you want it i thought you saw the need in the communal as i see it on the island i don't like the president of egypt i know i came over to digital the hardest be moved if. the so i have to follow. the ship as i do this work but sorry i don't have to be back in sudan emanuel had a senior position at

a 5 star hotel. but here in germany he must make do with work as a removal man number less he considers himself internet for now. he is having the physical mind things i visit to do some things that make me to think of so i meet new people. i have some celebrity every day i have to work morning. to do my job as a human being so it's helping a lot it's not only about money said to be healthy but even with a steady job under his belt emanuel fears that he will be allowed to stay in germany. to try him again. he told an emissions happening. you know it's a complete one up you know doesn't you know i said there's nothing in there but he is his german friend really has been helping him with his residency application here she's my house she's my anger and she's my best friend and this is it and i'm

ready and she's my everything thank you with so many refugees to deal with the state is swamped with asylum requests and sometimes it can take years before an application is processed. emanuel has been on the waiting list for 18 months for humanitarian reasons we ask for complete stopping off him being rejected and these things said from germany. i think we would be successful also in this because we we believe in him and there's enough proof that a man has been well integrated this working hand so it's good chances i think. because i'm. away from the complex paperwork and concerns about employment and language skills the theater performance is finally coming together. as a section i'm guessing is activating the 9 some class. is just this annoying the sound collage and this in no way to learn but as i

knew me i just feel if i see it is love. the theme for today's expulsion for fear of which still haunts some of the refugees. mr shims in my belly my lip to. the highest dust has only been the trashman. dust man off until a fool. who frizzy to. defund. plentiful. is a yacht of mention. conant. event which i missed out.

and then all too quickly the big day arrives in debt most town square project theatre could pass for that performance. entitled a meeting in paradise it's to be a possible reflection on what sanctuary in germany has given to the refugees on. and so i shut. down i am a god it is yet another i'm not but it was and that is this need he would say give dazed in session ok i feel that i feel this show begins with the story of the refugees as flight from home feel.

as if you did to get this into this is this to me. this is beyond just listen to. the but if you do hear. in the 2nd top of the performance the audience is invited to get involved. so. they can taste the traditional soup listen to recitals from the migrants or sign up for some charge he was. pleased to do in the ninety's he stated this is a big thank you. thanks told you can go there and tweak something altogether if there's a big beef with the good and the good ads if. i do with and then to really add fuel

relative to the old so like that was 50 shillings and it just wasn't interesting is that enough for nameless to be slagged funds but money by no means it would be wrong to conclude from this brief glimpse into germany's assimilation process no matter how successful it has been in detmold that refugee is a universally welcomed there is growing intolerance and frustration to be found here as elsewhere in europe and whether the doors remain open to migrants remains to be seen. for now though the $100.00 plus 1000000 years that is costing the german state seems to be being well satisfy us it's just the beginning of next week so they're going to try to understand each other and to get together. i mean just all together. except.

desperate for a better life millions of people have sought refuge in europe sometimes their dreams of century are realized but sometimes disenchantment drive them home. in the 2nd of 2 films on these contrasting experiences people and power meets the returning migrants now determined to discourage others from following the same path . gambia back home on al-jazeera.
