People we meet

The distance between our countries is shrinking in pase with developments in technology. This leads to more migration, which is a source of development both for individuals and for societies.

There are many reasons why we travel to other countries. We may do so to study, work or visit relatives and friends or we may meet a new life companion. The reason may also be that we have to flee from our country of origin on account of war or persecution.

According to the United Nations, there are about 200 million migrants, but no one knows the exact figure. About 16 million of them are refugees.
