Carla Bancu:
Among the best lessons I’ve learned during my migration journey was the importance of tolerate everything. That people are different from one country to another. Not better, not worse, just different. That common sense is the most subjective thing there is and that one gets accepted only if they learn to embrace this difference between people. Once you stop comparing yourself and your culture to the new country’s people and culture, that’s when you become part of it.
Anna Eder:
I really can’t tell what made me choose Arabic studies but I guess it was the right thing as it brought me in contact with refugees from different countries. I heard their dreams and realized that this is what I wanted to do: help people to hold on to their dreams no matter how hard it is.
