proceeds will go to the poverty charity care. thanks for joining us next peiser in berlin next is a documentary about how young people are shaping the earth's future. language courses. video. any time any.

book is dangerous to think that we couldn't lose our freedom again we need to remain vigilant if we don't it could be taken from us step by step. get up. to smell the semitism racism xenophobia whatever form hatred takes it has always existed and always will be it's up to us to decide to stop these processes it's our responsibility.

but the subtlety among my believe there are many ties that bind young europeans together for the rich we're fighting for a better united europe in which everyone has the same opportunities in they are not muslim so the. law. with entry underestimate concentration. but the few new wave of activism i see up and that's going to give me hope.

reading about them is what i'd just be you know what i used to take peace and what we value about europe for granted you'll get more than ever i have a sense that it's actually something we young people need to fight for the title comes to listen. to me. who caused the holocaust have you ever heard this with a full. smile just not. even never had it before ok. have bought or what a good missing daughter was born to a jewish mother and a non jewish father the nazis called people like him michel meaning a mixed race or half jews he would that's why he wasn't to cause it to

a concentration camp straight away like many others and manage to survive cuts once not going to protect what he had to do forced labor life was the event what's your impression of him he reminds me of my granddad ok yeah ok was that the smile. he looks wait. this out by. big looks pretty old but he looks intelligent. i know the jewish people won't allow him to do certain things i thought everyone from back then was dead but they're not there that's what i learned today. i was just. a sophistic thus it's important that young people know what happened no one said that it never happens again. and it's not my posse is this here it was much worse than a 100 lines to my mother used to tell me what happened one day i'll tell my own

children about it because it's important to know my allowed him by such on this show that i. was up to all but usually the current government has managed to instill a fear of immigrants and the general public the idea that they bring to zealously sometimes a transformational for all purposes a closure and have turning people against one another and inciting fear like this the worst are. just terms my gosh. her fine when you have all the staff all your employees for your boss get what they call it up thank you thank you i

cut the pay structure which was special just the toll we are placed on the to change all the delegates and alcohol of illegality thank you thank you i thank you thank you i. am going to stand corrected and yes that's a lot we have a serious problem with nationalism is on the government except that we're seeing a growing number of attacks on the street and of people because of their background or sexual orientation as it's been noted as it's well know it's a. tough love is the focus on what the voters am instructions like these patriotism has been used to stir up hatred against anyone who in matthew doesn't belong to that although that the most artists is an example of how poland's right wing is trying to control the political narrative yes focused on this also there's a latent aggression and i sense that the situation could escalate at any 2nd of that 1st step to this that i'm getting out of here. say this isn't the right place

to try and find common ground to give it there's no point in seeking a dialogue with this last. episode himself. along with us nothing a lot of young people in athens and greece grew up with the idea of a united europe social movement and a europe that offers everyone equal. all opportunities open most state is go you should. go bald but now i wonder if that was a europe that never really existed for over.

a period when it was the port of heroes it's the biggest in the country and one of the biggest in europe. just off the when the 1st huge wave of refugees arrived in 2015 a reception center was set up here at the port misses put him on the ballot. this fall saw this scene and the sports are symbols of the journey so many people undertook to reach europe from turkey to compose and unfortunately also of the deaths of many people off the skids but many of them drowned when their boats capsized. this situation has improved but ultimately greece has been left alone to deal with the problem it's not the food you speak european union has taken a step back against the visual.

the images and little by quote just to consider the figures we're talking about a 1000000 refugees who came to the e.u. which is home to 500000000 people. social because they know it all all personally i see immigration more as an opportunity than a threat. when you believe in yourself that things need to change now and no one else is doing it and it's your responsibility to do it and in the worst situation you fell and you try again. i was 22 when we created which is upon you.

before i could actually have a real voice in politics i could have waited an extremely long time if i drank the traditional body really i could have but i think that this we will see. when you look at global challenges like migration flows climate change fiscal justice we don't have a choice but to deal with those issues that you can. avoid the word actually means energy measure of energy we want to end it and part of fix but most importantly the same way that you know every single night when you see how awful it. all behind the same. piece of gold as a result. 6 there was so many wrong things happening and we need the

confident was going the wrong direction you know the rise of my hand up in france in germany the far right was also rising and it kind of came together and on their feet ok let's create a european policy. and. so he starts its work on the idea for a bit and i was helping out and then we had a man who joins and we had to create a national party is to be able to run for elections but we're running on one program. to see europe's younger generation is waking up 70 percent of votes members have never been politically active to hold. them responding to populism with this. vision of a tolerant to 90 directly involved is pushing for greater solidarity among the states and an economy that seems so environmentally sustainable the 6.

i i too well to come lighting here in the middle of walsall where demonstrations of pro european liberals and polish nationalists taking place side by side the police are out in force that the all star team is rarely cracked down on racist or anti semitic rallies i think so grassroots activists block far rights marches to that they're often penalized thanks. i think i was actually whatever it's not that we can't express our opinion or demonstrate against the government but increasingly you then face consequences you're so hot and might be searched one morning we might be arrested as a demonstration that's for now the justice system is still independent and we're fighting a legal battle to protect our rights but even the fact that this fight is necessary

and we have to take it to the cool this is a worrying development so i go beyond 10 and have fellow lawyers do pro bono welcome behalf of people who find themselves having to defend their basic rights against the state. i just elements from watch this is about the role of law and you know as lawyers we help ensure there's a fair relationship between the powerful state and ordinary citizens who suddenly find themselves facing a court battle that study upsets and then opposite of a whole letting the sparks thank you very fulfilling work. helping is more gratifying than the moment in court when you hear the words sick yes of course . it's the defendant on all charges just out of the hotel it's a family look at each other and feel very proud of ourselves but there are such a. dear

mr potter we were very moved by your story. we were shocked by what you had to go through nowadays people are also discriminated against because the best skin color or their religion of. your story has taught us that we need to be more aware of these issues here. isn't starts off so we have my i have the courage and strength attack for you to share your story with us it's not all harmful i'm also writing a book about my journey to germany and the difficulties i had in my own country. if you're interested in reading my book you can have it sent to you by the high march soon société. shoes are glad to read it. comes to moments in the us and if so yes that's got. awful.

that's isabelle me from humorous person and i'm always very touched by these letters this year to year we're going to. this generation is growing up and i hope that when they start playing a responsible role in society bill improve it. and therefore make it a diverse and welcoming society is a society that truly values human dignity that's. leaving her family. got stuck. has. to see. if. he can you get some remember a time where no one would listen to us and our boys. as were silenced. most of. the seeds. from this internet were the last of this generation. don't listen or perhaps better rights we need to realize what that

means and rise to the task. lacka like the concentration camps themselves we the survivors are the last witnesses to what happened there and we need to think around i will remember it when there are no eyewitnesses left sargon are scum 'd. i think it's mother of democracy it's many layers especially now consumerist nowadays. before i look at the receipt from the land sold journalism i think democracy is under threat media in greece are not independent nowadays.

you don't need both iranians with the media began during the financial crisis. as the guard. many jobs were cut and many journalists were forced out because they didn't comply with the agendas of their new bosses. satiric was one of the generalists who didn't comply in 2015 he launched an english language website about life in greece in the wake of the financial crisis athens live the nonprofit project is part of an international network of independent media the refugee crisis began shortly after its launch. visited the refugee camps to report on the situation. a little around the time the 1st big wave of refugees arrived in 2016 journalists had relatively easy access to the refugee centers it wasn't hard to get in to interview the people there.

see them from. the field here in the refugee camps there was a group of 15 young women from afghanistan. before some of them felt the media accounts of their story weren't accurate still so they decided to become journalists themselves and give the refugees an authentic voice. so. at the 1st mover just enough they said that's one month. after. the 1st newspaper. man off they come came to our son said how well they read. and just.

for us. and. i think it's was the. us. because we were able to change the mind of afghan men about. the choice to name our new space and my. theme. week with fly that would be for me especially. with a spanking if i lied to my. nombre votes candidate in france. but her dream of securing a seat in the european parliament never got off the ground. she blames the french

political system is complicated administrative rules. when you vote in germany and in almost every european country you do this on a single ballot france is different you have one ballot per party and this means that parties are responsible for printing their own ballots in the 1st place and. the parties so to print better for the european elections it's amounted to approximately close to 1000000 euros which for a new political party is almost impossible and to this is added the fact that we couldn't open a bank account for a very long time because the financing those put it put your questions are so strict that every bank refused so we couldn't open a bank account so we couldn't collect money to print ballots which meant that we couldn't compete. it's extremely difficult to accept that because of some video messed up rules and the lack of democratic will from the government you

have to stop so it was for me it was heartbreaking to have to start this way you know not being it i think because you can convince people it's one thing being stopped by you your own country and this is the main place from being able to represent others and from me able to partake in society is heartbreaking. colombe remains undeterred she's continuing to work on behalf of votes in other european countries in london she's campaigning for andrei events on who had initially planned to run for election in italy. but to a new party. he has little hope of getting anywhere. near that it would be a logistical nightmare for us to run across europe because you have different legal systems and the systems to run put elections and it is the case we can run in countries but we can't run in many other.

fathers and grandfathers or people come be with me here we don't even be able to stay in the same room after the civil war and now we are. brothers we can never imagine a war on these on this continent something that. brought us and that we should 1st serve in the pool. i don't believe in you because it's the e.u. but i think it's just the best solution we have. this is an amazing project that was built by past generations need to make.

me from the moment people nationalist movements so far right sponsor there's a reason i don't agree with it but this can you reason puts people on the dump i mean if they're going to turn to such extreme put it is because one they feel a bit like this. when you have a part of the nation that is suffering from hunger that doesn't have access to housing. that's not peaceful society. and i have prayed for. beyond time is also campaigning for a fairer society she what some behalf of victims of the housing crisis. or of the building that was thrown up i hear it needs more social justice 1st there's a housing crisis across europe we need a europe wide mass movement calling for

a right to housing it was benefit everyone. just what. is 80 she's lived in this apartment for over 70 years now she's been given notice. but added almost all of the renters have had to move out already that i'm one of the last has left that i'm continuing to fight the landlord is doing everything in its power to force me out. i've been intimidated i've had nasty phone calls in the middle of the night that all i could hear were strange noises and that someone was telling me i would be hung out to dry that. but at least it's very hard to protect someone against a forced eviction nor in extreme rent times like this the law isn't really on the side of renters who were fighting for the right to housing to be recognised as a human rights the wish to be able to.

read jane you've heard this in the past we lawyers don't usually go on picnics with the economy it seems but we've known one another while now since they were the 1st renters i represented i remember how nervous and stressed i was for us but that's another secret bonded us with come a long way since then but we've stayed friends in the. couple months about audiences help was invaluable without her support i would have slipped into debt and even move back to school days as some people have stuff. heart attacks because of the stress if we could have been out of working for us for free we have all ended up sleeping under bridges in the magic. decision where runs out in public and working with elderly people and with people

who have no money keeps me grounded it's just that when you see social inequality firsthand don't see the desperation you motivated to keep up the fight to cricinfo up. on saturdays so serious meets up with a young journalist outside the refugee camp together they planned the next edition of the newspaper. then the home of the we're not out to craft brilliant articles and win a pulitzer prize it's about young people coming together and learning how to express themselves whom one big. guys this is all maher with us talk about iraq because. i'm from new york i'm serving him you're the oldest lets me through all. your articles go through 4 hours it's talking about is the 1st one says you know when you got back by the 3rd group so that's my goal.

has not got up while writing our newspaper brings together different nationalities and religions almost all have a project like this would never be possible in the countries i come from. because of racism and religious differences. it was not on my niece's animal that. you go to welcome everybody this is another show of the regular down the line. go through. with the newspaper project the young refugees have also started a podcast. in it they explore questions such as. what does democracy actually mean. people are living here since 15 years 20 years i think 30 years but i asked one of the persons there are you walking this year and he said no i cannot because i mean granted we had don't have the right toward an election in

european elections so what we should do as a show i think for the rings or bring them into their new society. my family 1st arrived in germany people gave us so much help my parents were clueless they couldn't speak the language they didn't know they have to register or where they had to go to do so i remember in elementary school teacher who was just amazing she knew that my family and i had come from russia i never felt like an outsider and that's how i'd like it to be for people today. and if rejection and fear are the 1st things you encounter then things aren't going to go well. for them . so back 6 months ago or maybe

a bit longer and i was in the metro with my friend. and a group of men i got in my mind one of them had a bottle of beer. and i don't tipped it over some guy's head and insulted him in a racist way i suspect i just. thought it was very aggressive and things i just instinctively stood up and challenge him. on the bank the 2 things that bothered me most were that no one else got involved. and it made me very sad that the guy had to go through that and just shrugged it off in a resigned way as if to say. you know this kind of thing happens to me every day when i don't want to subscribe to me and talk. to. smile with any gestures of support from other students

when neighbors call anyone at all. and phone me go hard knowledge and i want to help a friend noticed no one helped we had become social outcasts. does are all for as you are for one 5th of europe for univision do $945.00 was a different one it was a europe that would grow together. unify its hyuk sargon fragment me i want her to work. that's the whole heart but i also have faith that today's younger generation will triumph in just as we do about as he has to shatter a better world so we started by so in that sense. i am optimistic about the future of europe and it's a good or should so-called show as far apart. as

it is today call it likewise all of that has happened i think cyclical trend is the one micron started out my hope that he would present a new political vision well became a local political party is serious i soon realized he didn't have a political program and suitable to this will cause them a better and that is why one of the reasons i was drawn to the idea of the format it is because what i saw happening was a kind of populism even though his populism share some of my values was to open it to complete your system. and those who do i was opposed to late i have confidence that today one of us will have

a seat in the european parliament with that whether in germany i don't carea or elsewhere at the end of the day that's all that matters to me because i had hoped that we could stand in france and italy and defense are inevitable like i will run next time we'll call it up yourself. hi everyone i just voted in the european elections you can actually eat good foods in 8 countries so make sure that you go out and you foods have a good day. to have more to control you know how time passes and then which initiate you get to that's not going to be so so convenient and on this journey you have a particular style points out of stuff that you passed on to any and before the channel. and you see yourself why yes i'm. on the train which is something that you don't expect to see in here you know what it means to.

just switch to historical events or history doesn't repeat itself in exactly the same way but human nature is what it is man. it won't be long before the last holocaust survivors have died. samia believes that makes memorial sites all the more important they document the atrocities committed by the nazis. on the annual walk from auschwitz to birkenau thousands remember the dead and pay their respects to the survivors. i survived for $3.00 it's today.

that's awfully large of the social lives we hope that so many people from all over the world gather here for the annual march of the living and have been doing so for about 3 decades. that's my passion it ensures that history is remembered and the stories will never be forgotten. it shouldn't be missed by here and i'm very touched by the students and the one of them pointed out that the signs people are carrying on like gravestones for people who were denied them even if you're happy. for.

i feel this can help survivors a lot and obviously it's a good game knowing that young people are interested in them in their story and what they went through fired. they have out of actually out there mr god has said that he hopes our generation will fight for a society that respects the dignity of all and welcomes everyone. but the message i'm getting today is that i will vote for him to be him. even mccarthy i'll tell you what right now democracy is in crisis so it's all the more important that we journalists support independent projects such as migratory birds and our nonprofit website the more we boost the independent media the better

it is for democracy and you give them about the amounts. they are. yes. but i mean that i'm pretty excited. we've been working towards this for 2 months. in the finally i get to pick up a new copy of our newspaper. then when i think if this is the only newspaper by and for refugees you can buy in greece i'm very happy about. this new minute maybe paper gives a voice to people who haven't been hurt so far. with this project we're helping change the public's view of refugees for the better we get mail from readers who say that the newspaper has even made them reflect on their own lives of people

maybe. a narrative that on some days i feel very tired. i feel like what i'm doing with my activism goes far beyond the call of duty. and i think wow it's a lot of work but at the end of the day it's very gratifying it's the 1st one. ever like here. i think. that's. a. but isn't so as a boy i want my country poland to respect human rights and up hold the rule of law i fight for these principles in the courts salads on the.

weekends but how would you know the ones that my client has filmed that an anti-government demonstration by polish state t.v. and described on a news show as a common provocateur we're demanding an apology from the t.v. station and we want to show that the t.v. report was manipulated on. the go to them to s.b.s. this is the 1st time that an ordinary citizen is bringing an action against the state t.v. station t.v. peak and not the other way around but this is my biggest case so far and it's a landmark case for society. most but my god it's very challenging but i feel good about it like it was negative i feel i'm defending european values and contributing to something important that spike it does but it says i'm fighting for a more democratic society that up holds the rule of law just go back to the market it's the budget provisions that. it will give us for example i love my job i love sorting out the final details the night

before a quarter parents the adrenaline on the day of the sick especially when it's a case that has broader social relevance. i guess i get very invested in the whole thing interest what is it with and we aren't that. in court spatter describes how her client has suffered both personally and professionally because of the t.v. report. he's had to switch jobs and he feels he's been publicly shamed just once. in the end the hearing is adjourned and not for the 1st time. the case is put on hold for 6 months. but they look at from a condition side and on to a group of lawyers currently working on the many many cases because of the 40 percent of our cases are pro bono we represent people with no money who are fighting what we see as an important case. there are many lawyers in poland's doing

what we do. but the some of my colleagues laugh at me but i don't care what matters to me is what i see results where there's more even than my client gets to stay in their apartment because my refugee is granted papers to stay in poland and of course my work can improve people's lives but i try to make sure they get the ruling may mean i can sleep at night or no one respects me going and. looking at. basically their gardens 1st projections it looks like i mean i mean. we have become so dreadfully but. really good things to you. now. you.

told me. well 2 years ago we created books we had 0 right now but it's actually when. 2 years in and this is why i've been back it's if the entire day i'm so proud of what we have achieved. we can make it again can chase women it should go well but it's gonna take is we have almost 40000 volunteers so obviously i hope that we are going to like them once and i think our. way. no i. was listening because this is an amazing success for bolton germany and an amazing success for european democracy. in this image shows that in just over 2 years we managed to

rally together people across the continent. some with a positive democratic vision and a shared program is the folks with an opposing t.v. them cognition nothing just. issued that we can do it we are capable of getting elected to prove evidence based policies we've got using populist discourse and and we keep the lid off changing the political landscape one small step at a time. i mean everyone has the world's pain politics and so forth to make sure we give it to society it doesn't this that you have to be in office that many ways to look at but i think the time to sit back and hope that all this will do it for us is gone and everyone has a response to me and we'll get a campaign if we don't do anything today is to meet.
