Assef
Assef has a moving history. His grandparents come from Russia. Some fled to Turkey and have been living there for about 100 years, while the others fled to Syria and have been settled there for the same length of time. But then the now 32-year-old had to flee himself. When he reached Würzburg, he was just 23 years old. Würzburg has now become his hometown. He is confident in the German language. He is very happy with his personal circumstances and with the situation in his city.
Assef feels a great sense of gratitude towards Germany and Würzburg for taking him in and supporting him. He feels comfortable and safe here.
For him, October 7, 2023 and what happened after that was terrible. When he says that he finds it terrible that people are being killed and dying, both on the Israeli and the Palestinian side, he is warned that it could be misunderstood. Assef does not feel free to express his opinion on this matter.
You can find out more about Assef's life, his values, fears and hopes in the podcast episode.
Das Projekt
in aller Kürze
Jeder Mensch - egal wie alt, egal woher - will irgendwann endlich ankommen. Wir zeigen 1.000 Menschen aus Würzburg, jeden mit seiner eigenen Geschichte.
Über diese Geschichten, Kunst, Diskussionen und kreative Formate laden wir alle ein, miteinander ins Gespräch zu kommen, gemeinsame Werte zu entdecken und sie im besten Fall gemeinschaftlich umzusetzen.
Dass Diversität im eigenen Umfeld als Chance begriffen werden kann, will das Projekt ebenso erfahrbar machen, wie das Glücksgefühl, das sich einstellt, wenn man selbst etwas verändert.
