The focus is primarily on the realities of life for refugees and people with a migration background. Personal experiences combine with political developments of global dimensions.

Sabine Schiffner, author from Bremen, reads selected passages from the book.
The author Hit Adouani will be connected digitally and will take part in the conversation. As a PEN Germany scholarship holder, she now lives in Berlin.
