"Sustainable prospects for staying" series: open-air cinema & discussion "Tell them about us" (2024)
The documentary follows seven teenage girls with a migration background as they grow up in the East German town of Eberswalde. Targeted immigration is intended to counteract the population decline in Brandenburg. The group of young women claim this space in their own way. Through creative workshops and staged dream sequences, they process their experiences of displacement, cultural adaptation and finding their identity. The film offers an intimate insight into their challenges and hopes. Director Rand Beiruty creates a sensitive portrait of self-empowerment, belonging and friendship. Following the film, the "Sustainable Perspectives to Stay" project invites you to join in the conversation.

From the event series "Bleibeperspektive oder Flucht und Migration in Zeiten des Umbruchs in Deutschland" (April 24 to July 10, 2025)
Debates about migration are increasingly dominating kitchen table conversations and politics. At the same time, discussions are becoming increasingly emotionalized and fronts in society are hardening. The student project "Sustainable Perspective to Stay" at the University of Kassel aims to create the opportunity to take another look at the basic idea of asylum and asylum law. In addition to the legal perspective, there will be a strong focus on the current living environments of migrants. In this context, topics such as migration, work and social rights will be examined in the context of a restrictive migration policy. In addition to lectures, the series of events also includes a reading, two film screenings, a networking meeting and a workshop. Following the events, there will be an open space for discussion.
The series of events is organized and carried out by the project "Sustainable prospects to stay and participation in education for students with refugee experience" at the University of Kassel. Further information on the project can be found on the website: www.bleibeperspektive.com
