Listen "Episode 1: Prologue"
Episode Synopsis
Gently introduces you into the topic... Starting with a flow of negative words often associated with immigration!
If you are a citizen in the EU, according to polls, there's a good chance that your view of immigration is somewhat negative or even hostile, a pale reflection of how immigrants are painted in the media and by politicians.
They can play on the "group-threat theory", the idea that our economies are compromised, our societies less safe and our identity and values threatened by immigrants.
But is this the case? We'll find out more in future episodes.
