Maart 2023
Iryna Troskot was in Oekraïne werkzaam als journalist en redacteur. Nu woont ze in de noodopvang en schrijft ze voor onze website een serie portretten. Over wat mensen meemaken die hun land hebben achtergelaten en bij ons in de noodopvang wonen. Wat ze denken, doen en voelen.
Iryna stelt zich voor en vertelt wat haar beweegt om haar serie portretten te maken:
Iryna Troskot, journalist and text editor from Irpin (Kyiv region, Ukraine). Before the Russian-Ukrainian war she was working as an editor-in-chef with site of literally criticism, as a journalist (mostly reportage and interview) and as a text editor for Ukrainian magazines and books.
In our globalized world we often do not know the people who live nearby. Especially if these people are different. Refugees and displaced persons are the same people as we are, but they have a different life story and often difficult experiences. To understand the world, you need to understand its people. To understand these people, they must be listened to. This is the main idea of short articles, portraits and stories about refugees from other countries who have found their refuge in Thuis in Oss. Why they were forced to flee? What is the situation in their countries? How did they go their way? How their experiences can be useful to others?
