Urbanistica Podcast - Cities for People 29.EN I am 2015 movement in Sweden - Atoosa Farahmand
Atoosa Farahmand from Malmö wrote a post on her Facebook page on 2020-03-03 as a response to the Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson's image of himself. He stands with his arms crossed in a hunting outfit out in the woods with the clear message that "2015 must never be repeated". 2015 was the year when Turkey open the border to refuges from Syria to move to EU via Greece. There the refuges was treated with violence. Many of the refuges ended up in Sweden.
Atoosas' Facebook post and hashtag #Iam2015 (#jagär2015) got very popular in socialmedia and people started to post their own stories and stand against what Ulf presented in his picture. #Iam2015 became a big movement in Sweden.
We are talking about the movement, the challenges that refuges are facing in Sweden, and what are the actions that the Swedish government needs to take in order to make the integration process faster and shut down the negative voices that creating barriers in between the people in Sweden.
Atoosa is sharing her thoughts about how can a smart and a democratic city bring all the different groups together in one strong community.
