In 2015 more than a million refugees registered for asylum in Germany, many of them Syrian. Since then, stereotypes, prejudice and doubt have dominated the public debate. And it affects everyone - even those refugees who arrived in Germany years ago. DW's Louise Osborne spoke a young student in Berlin named Sara about what it means to be Syrian and dating in Germany.
A literary love affair sparks debate in Israel, women photographers change India’s gaze, and Russia take strides towards gender equality in outer space.
A literary love affair has provoked big debate in Israel. 'Borderlife' tells the story of an Israeli woman and a Palestinian man who fall in love in New York. Despite its recommendation by a panel of experts, the Ministry of Education declared the book unsuitable for high school curriculum on the grounds that it could encourage young Arabs and Jews to enter into intimate relationships.
In India, women are coming to the fore in a profession that's long been dominated by men. Over the past few years, young female photographers have been invading this male stronghold, telling stories through their own lens. They're still a minority in this field, but that's gradually changing, thanks to a new generation of women making their mark with photography.
This week on the show it's all about football. We meet a Senegalese star playing professionally in Europe, and find out how soccer is helping slum kids in India stay in school. Plus, match fixing, racism on the field, and the ugly side of the beautiful game.
The Italian’s are going mad...for English words that is! While in the Czech Republic, a unique map in Braille is helping blind and vision impaired people get around with ease. Forget the French you’ve learnt, Paris has changed the spelling of thousands of words - just to make things a little bit harder. All that and more on this language special of Pulse.
This week on Pulse we explore various campaigns around the world: from Berliners finding refugees a new home in Germany, to fighting for justice for Canada’s missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
This week we're looking at people who stand out; people who are different from the rest and who are proud to be that way; like the young Iraqi Christian refugee; the Rwandan and Ugandan poets confronting society's silence through words and music. And we head to Israel where a group of Israeli Arabs are out and proud and filming their lives for a new documentary touring the world right now.
On this week’s edition of Pulse, we take a road trip of sorts; finding out how to get a German driver's licence, before heading off to Casablanca to pimp our cars, as well as discovering some road-trip beats. In this week’s Generation Change, we meet a man who has turned his life around and is now helping the down and out get back on their feet.
This week on Pulse, check out Berlin's growing English language standup scene and meet the chicken-suit-wearing Irish comic rapper Big Stu. Also, discover the music of Turkish-German jazzer Defne Sahin, and get some perspective with our Generation Change series and the Rock Your Life crew.
