and i'm ronnie and i come here at the end to meet 2 young activists. he wants to bring about radical change addressing issues from education and then a quality to racism, a migrant right. welcome to generation change a global series attempts to understand and challenge the ideas of mobilizing youth around the world. all so we currently invader on us, which is where you grew up, right? was there anything about growing up here that particularly motivation to you to go into activism, to participate in a senior governments in 5th grade,

actually representing the students and in many important issues as raising money for pay people from lower economic backgrounds from students to participate in a school trips shopping people, some for some reason a 9 to not be left behind. and your parents with a politically active. yeah. both my parents are a trade unionist, but from my early ages i remember my part and started telling me about how it's respect every, every person, no matter their, their background, their, their status to the future you're occurred found the youth organization could really uh, nissan could you tell me with

a name comes from and what your main objective thoughts. mm hm. so actually for the means, use initiative for the william and initiative and now and means here we focus on organizing people and use it as, as the eligibility rights women's rights, human rights in general, but also the, the educational crisis in their climate crisis as well. we organize people on the street level with demonstrations and sikes, but also organize a lot of open dialogue with our members and, and young people in general to talk about the important stuff that i was introducing spaces. and we're now starting to, to do some loving work, actually pressing quotations to implement agendas that work for, for young people as well. or

hello, thalia may on isn't a line to a political policy. how would you describe the values of it for somebody that's in a different country? i think they're willing to the progressive left. we have some specific cases that are not like negotiable for us, but we try to to keep the dialogue open. and actually we negotiated with people in our ideals. also, we need to show people as you have to pressure this institution, submits the pros and cons offers to actually work for you and for your interest. the rosa you were born and raised in greece, but your parents originally come from albania. well it's not been like a while in greece. this architecture are born in the country or that true immigration is there any age, doesn't automatically make you agreed to citizens. so although i was born in greece, i was considered an old baby and citizen on taylor 2017,

which meant that i had 0 civic right. but no, absolutely no, probably couldn't fully declare presentation. and how probably in is to see if the increase started banging my grades in the ninety's stuff there did this illusion of the hybrid communist space. we are currently the biggest, my great 30 minority we have been traditionally targeted by the media. we have been perceived as dangerous as the criminals, as somebody to watch out for. and so yeah, in, in a way it has and made it easier. so for us, the senior agent, the great society so you've been involved in antivirus, just movements and i wanted to know what it was about your life experiences that kind of shape to a journey into activism. the moment is the as being actively involved with the movement was when i was 13 years old. that's great side of the between the beginning of the financial crisis in greece. you spoke with being point to

a certain moment in time that really spark lacks. it gets claimed, it would be when the police q, the 15 year old boy, his name was alexis, who wrote all bruce, the nonsense. and that the sparkle, the big movement of the demonstration that moved from um, from austin, then sprayed all over greece and spoke about the struggle. but also represented many different topics that we were fighting for from for new society, through a presentation to essentially a better life. so we don't want to his background. i'd like to know that about the work that you do with my friends particularly. yeah, so we are a non profit association. we are collective the before we're doing an

option where it says illustrating call ideas in a fall. yeah, racism and all sorts of fun, social related discrimination. and we lack representation of people like us, expand government and hire. let's say like of aspects of society. so we're really keen on promoting that to the elements. thank you. petra and rosa for being here today. both of you have grown up during that time and numerous social and economic i'll people in greece. where is that? how do you think that this is defined things to your generation? well, i think when somebody says for those verse that they, there's most probably 2 ways you can go about. one thing is to put your head down and let it destroy you. and the other one is to push against it,

then somehow elective define you positively. i think cuz i come from the generation that was facing the financial crisis and then was to keep up with what they call the refugee crisis. i think um we were confronted with a lot of different of age and structures and phenomena, but most of us, these come through more resilient then again, i cannot meet the truth, which is that a lot of us faced with this of the verse of the we we had to fly, like i have to say that a lot of my peers, my classmates, given of my generation dates, we need greece. i think the we came stronger after this, through this crisis that we face as duration was something that i have to do out is the last of space in the democratic institutions that our generation is facing. and that is something really difficult for, for people to understand them is democratic institutions going to work for you. and something that we need is stronger representation of,

of people who are ace in apartment. and then any uh, local or national or original plays. the decisions are being made is interesting that you say that young people don't have trust in democratic institutions because the last government actually no device engaged to 17. and i wanted to know what do you think that means that young people have more of an active voice in politics in greece. i think that it gave us a sense of responsibility because it was the 1st time that we got to vote. but the problem is that the, the h to get elected is still the same. it's 25 years old. so that doesn't change anything when it comes to my presentation. and because i wanted to ask you, your experience has been different. so could you explain a bit about what you will civic rights have been like in greece? yeah. is there is a difference between being able to participate in the system and how he feels was hurt than actually being represented in the system. going from where they call as a 2nd generation migrant in greece, which basically means that your either born from migrant parents increase or you

migrate that an early age. and i believe most of your life in greece. so you have all of the medications as a pro for greek citizen, no taxpayer, but not all the civic rights. and i think one of the most important things that we need to understand is that you cannot vote. i think i come from a generation because 0 is being in the greek society, and that is exactly what we're trying to change with our eyes to put greeks like me and the center of this. probably complaints color and when you talk about no feeling visible, do you mean specifically coming from a miser community or not having great nationality in the 1st place? or do you mean generally for the generation? i think it's, it's represents the generation of people that have migrate their heritage and to be visibility and views and feeling it is i'd like to play was terms also comes from the front of the 2 are very visible in certain terms. and that is when people call you the grand and the cream, you know, and foreigner, but then you're visible when it comes to anybody. take anything to accomplish your

think there were lots of specific things that happened in greece. say we call them crises, but also the label comes in it and i wanted to know how will these things to affect to the education system and experiences students i so as well uh we, we have uh no basic um, stuff that we need no basic infrastructure that we need in our schools and in our universities. and the problem is that the current government is actually trying to, to turn into the discussing and into a certain different direction because they focus on security and the police on compass one. at the same moment. we don't have some basic stuff, but it's getting versus all around us and all around the world has. it was specifically the lowering of us, of budget during the crisis. and especially the, the get that a wide in between not lowering and upper classes. when it comes to private spending

. as a english, i need to have to get some private tutoring to get into university. and so it becomes very disproportionate for people of, for working class people to, to be able to help their kids to prepare their, their, their, to into get into university interesting is a way of me, current conservative government said to privatize everything. we've seen that happen with health care and now i think it's a very direct approach towards education. i think you might agree with me. we are very proud to have a public education system english for us. it's important to keep it public and the conservative government is trying to do it exactly opposite. we were just talking about student politics and i think around the world, she didn't pull its excuse to the left. but more generally in greece, the far right had gained popularity. nice, nice to believe with the near. not secret the golden doing. why do you think that's been the case? said when you have a diversion crisis and you have a space,

i concert, it's a grease that is a talk by many phones they. it's also i'm a grounds that creates different passivity. this one of them is for folks who is narratives, for example, phobic narratives for um, it creates an opportunity to for extreme ideas to come forth because people are struggling. right. and on top of the financial crisis, starting 1008 in 2015, you had what they call the refugee crisis. so i think the system it says dave space, so golden don't exist because in that way they won't take the mainstream, extreme ideas that we actually see today in the conservative government. we cannot fly. there are specific people in the structures of the car and call them and then i also have the right side of the of the spectrum. right. so yeah, i think of denver pretty large because if you needed to express the stronger in october of 2020 the going to it was finally criminalized. and some of the leaders was sent to prison. is that the end of the story when it comes to the going on in

the near, not see aspects of the far right increase range and i'll have them in the parliament . they are not in the strong public position that they, where they're not moving drug costs and couple of our days in our mainstream media . but in reality, they still exist. not all of them were jake, and not all of their ideas and narratives are buried somewhere beneath. right. and you still have their support is around. i was talking with some people of this think all their own communicate. they're not. people are not ashamed to say that they support the goals and on and maybe when they be calm, then we can talk about it ending. but it's definitely not the case right now. do you agree with that? is that people aren't really ashamed to be associated with the golden don't me? i think the public after the introducing decision 92020. i understand how dangerous calling on was, especially after the beginning of the, of the popular spaces of families in green communities. and the thing was going crap or the people understand that it wasn't just

a right wing party who was in the united simply notebook that was doing some criminal and terrorist activities. but the audio lindsey's is still there, and we have one of their members waiting part increase into existing of a 1000000 refugees of migrants landed on the shores of greece. and where is that you went to work on the line and of some of what did the experience show you? yeah, i mean that was definitely on defining experience. i think um, it is still hard for me to express what i went through. but for sure it's thoughts for me in main understand that is as, as a mcgraw, i had a really tough life and a struggle. and these people are having a dog booth and worst. and that comes from the fact of what they go. so when they are in the, comes back in the day, the comp was open to day, they are closed security facilities and international and yours like oaks time and amnesty international. have the keys degree government of illegal pushed back some

refugees across the border and prison like refugee senses. i wanted to know if you think that's a great public support these measures. i don't think medically public support this measures, but i think that there's a lack of information when it comes to the whole referencing issue increase because the media is now covering other other issues of gas prices or the electricity prices of the war and ukraine. so i think that especially in the mainstream media has been trying to, you know, and james and dialogue and take it as, as far away as, as a kind of from and why is that? because a government has turned comes from the space that you could walk into to prison conditions. so there is, i think for me it's a targeted approach to give out as data information as possible. and actually when there is information authentic media, it's being blocked. and those journeys are being even stopped and followed by the government. and i want to circle back to one key point and the media in the recent

international press freedom index. it's published by one forces without borders. greece came last of all your opinion, countries behind bulk area and hungary. were you surprised about that? frankly speaking not, but the context only if we see greece and the media landscape seems to financial crisis. what you observe is that there's been really strong funding of the of the, the media services. so what media does now is that they rely on public funding. what happens there is that the public funding goes to the hands of the media that are supporting the conservative government. so you have a system that is not fair. you have a system that is not a safe. yeah, the journalist, but i know 1st of the investigative journalists being stopped by the government. so i think it's a, it's a matter of understanding that the ownership and the safety are really, really going down here. and i think it's, it's important to note that the government has refused to the work which is without,

for it is find things. and they said that the majority of newspapers in greece exercise phase criticism against the government. pinterest, what do you think about that response from the government? it has nothing to do with the reality we're facing increase because the press and the media here are operating by the one percent of the country. i may say, well, i think ties with um, the oil business in the shipping industry. and so for me, especially when it comes to, to my climbing item is, uh, it was really difficult going to do immediately and talking about climate change and talking about how these sleeping companies are destroying local communities. they wouldn't report because they are owned by the people who are creating the problems and across the well young people that's adding to social media instead for news information, anything really. and i wanted to know if there was any examples increase that highlighted how certain platforms have been used to amplify issues to bring about positive change. the organization, for instance, gain popularity during that,

but then through social media, especially in the instagram because it gave us the opportunity to actually talk about issues that were not being talked about in, in may. so media, because we're talking about the educational crisis, somehow you wind up and dynamic. we had a inequality between people who could afford having like 2 computers at home, having internet access is not everybody. indeed i wanted to take. what we actually do is when we use social media to bring forth social change and it's actually working for them, we've had cases of refugee students have been denied asylum. and we really push the biggest social media campaign or needs to go and facebook. we went there and intervened in his school and when we actually sort of to the shang, any posting of that or do visual 5 and our, um, our own or not even our pulse. we actually managed to contribute into a whole system of support. that's got the kids use asylum approved. it was

a really interesting experience for us because really has a we have a lot of power links to meet. it doesn't give us a space, but social media creat it's, it's for us. the show is quote, generation change and i do want to know from both of you how you define your dentist generation compared to that of your parents. so i think that we are one of the most progressive generations. but at the same time with social media, sometimes we get the reason that we're active enough, but does not the case we, we need to be more active. we need to be more organized because our partners gave a lot of fights, especially during the dictatorship increase. we need people to get through the streets to organized in order to, to actually change something in order to be represented more. uh, but i'm often missing when it comes to optimize innovation and being, uh, you know, politically active. and that your experience has been quite different to that with your parents because they came over here from another country. how do you see

a world view as being different to that as well? i think this is true for most kids that's coming from my grandparents. we are raised with a bunch of his st. john's. and you have to like come to terms with the funds that your parents have sacrificed most of their lives and liberties and freedoms for you to enjoy some of what you consider as a like the basic human rights. but yes, the subjugation the ext corporate housing, i grew up being poor for a certain like part of my life. so i don't know if my parents had to go through that struggling way more than i did. so yeah, i feel privileged. i feel the owner and i feel thankful for their sacrifice, but my job is to make sure that my generation doesn't have to do that for the next picture is totally, it is non partisan. it is outside of the system at the moment. do you think that in the future you're gonna have to work within the system in order to bring about change? and sometimes we also work with a system uh at that time because uh,

basically when it comes to, to talking with the numbers and environment for our representatives. we, we get into conversations with them. uh, out of that meeting and partisan organization would be very, very difficult for us cuz at the moment we, we cannot fight our sales and being represented in our interests being represented by a specific party. and that is a very, a very strange problem for, for us in racing. we need to be represented in hand more. and we need to a political party that we'll talk about our problems enough, especially in the education system and, and the working and working rights issue. the people are facing duration. i also want to ask you this question was i, i know that previously had been very n t system, but now you can brussels, which is the heart of the european system. how does that happen? and is that just in and of? it's been a c, getting

a bit older are definitely i think the moment to understand that the by screaming on the outside, you bring forth those pacific and minimize changed comes also in the honey hi with being i think the older guess as you mature. i think it's just for me and then doesn't have to be the case for everybody. understood that in order to change a system, you need to 1st empower yourself and protect yourself and then enter that system in order to change is going to be then. and i think that's how you change it by bringing people like us in position of power so that they can influence the new legislation and the new decisions for the vin influence the whole society. i couldn't find any other way to sign the lease of the old are the things we've talked about, what was the crises, one of the issues, one of the problems, why do you care about change and do you think that it is realistic and possible? i think that i do, it gives me some great examples of, of, of things being made. uh, but it needs a lot of work. it is

a little simple understanding that they have to be active in us, especially in greece, is that we have been going through so many crisis that we are power of a powerful enough to, to actually fight for, for our basic rights fight for our presentation. and kind of domestic, that our generation is going to be able to understand and be more inclusive in a way of, of, of making change possible for, for everybody. all of my life have been dealt with that i cut onto things. it starts from being the name of the ground and it goes to being a one day and it goes to being week or for an area to show a stand today. and i think that i am living proof that you can start from last think and push against the system 1st, i guess by every obstacle brings you. and there is way more brilliant examples than me. but this is where we have to be a yeah,

i feel like i'm fear to empower people and sometimes to present them. so in a way i find this motive because there is a lot of work to be done better as well as i thank you. so much for being here today. that's all for this episode of generation change here in greece. the same as a full for an upgrade of change, the locked in america. this time the slides were made high as the violence against gender and sexual minority. i've come to the windows irene, 2 young women who have taken place in it were to establish greater freedom and equality. welcome to generations haines. as level series attempts to understand, i'm telling you is that mobilize use around the world. generation change on out you
