Learning to Care

What happens when refugees settle down and start a new life? How is their culture different compared to Dutch culture? What are the similarities between Dutch and Syrian culture, and what can we learn from each other?

“Learning to Care” will reframe the widespread zero- sum perception and to bridge the gap of the ‘us’ versus ‘them’ mentality. There is no ‘us’ and ‘them’, there are just problems that need to be solved. And these problems can be solved if we collaborate, coordinate and start to care for each other. We are more similar than we are different. Learning to Care aims to produce videos that combat stereotypes of refugees coming to the Netherlands and to Europe in general.
