Migration Part I - A Danish perspective within the EU

Planet Mundus

Migration continues to be a dominating topic across the world. For example in the upcoming European elections some say it is one of the deciding topics. We take a closer look at it with two concluding #SlowNews episodes on migration to end our podcast-year. Today, in Part I of our migration focus, we look at migration to and going from Denmark - a special case in the European context: Denmark decided not to follow the common guidelines that EU member states have agreed on. To get some inside views, we spoke to Eva Singer, Director of the Asylum Department of the Danish Refugee Council. She will guide you with us through application procedures, forced return and the political ‘paradigm shift’ of 2015 in Denmark. **"Migration Part II - A Burundian perspective within the Great Lakes Region" will be online in the beginning of next week.**
