06.05.2024, 6pm–7.30pm – BFH, Department of Social Work, Hallerstrasse 10, Bern (auditorium)
Is there a relationship between engaging in activism within the diaspora and human psychology? Can activism serve as a coping mechanism for dealing with traumas experienced during and prior to the migration process? Does political engagement contribute to making individuals healthier and more resilient? This discussion will focus on the results of an SNF-supported research project that encompasses questions related to Kurds in the diaspora, exploring the broader implications of political attitudes on their social and individual lives. The study aims to enhance our understanding of how the political attitudes of migrants impact their lives. Furthermore, it will assist in comprehending the integration, cultural conflicts, and adaptation processes of Kurds as migrants in Europe.
We invite you to join us in dialogue!

About the series of events
The series of events explores the question of where spaces of shared concern, solidarity and solidarity exist. How did they come about, who is involved and how, and what significance do various aspects of diversity have? To what extent is caring for others associated with privileges and what dependencies arise from this? Where are there spaces of solidarity in the city? What role can religion and spirituality play in a society based on solidarity? How can dialogue between the generations succeed? Where are there spaces of solidarity with refugees or older people? Where are the challenges and limits?
