How do internationals in Denmark experience crises back in their home countries? For every person, going abroad to study or to work is a huge discussion. We leave behind family and friends, familiarity, a nice apartment or unfinished projects. But for some, it is again harder - because they leave their countries while their own people are suffering from a humanitarian and political crisis. This is the case for quite a few of our fellow students at Mundus Journalism. South America hardly makes it to the news here in Denmark even though huge crises make people suffer outside of our attention. For example, in Brazil with newly elected right-wing president Bolsonaro, people get threatened every day and the future of the country is unclear. Or in Nicaragua hundreds of people got killed by government forces during peaceful manifestations and the president still won’t step down.
