Om Podcasten

My name is Casey and this is Becoming Europe, a podcast delving into the real-life impacts of European migrant and refugee policy to re-humanize the stories the media and government tell. Each month, we provide an interview with volunteers, social workers, and non-profit organizations working hands-on with the affected populations, as well as episodes on current events and our own misconceptions of the refugee “crisis”. Join us as we widen our perspective on this often desensitized subject and attempt to break down possible solutions into tangible steps we can all achieve.
