Hello, I’m Morteza Nikqadam, I come from Afghanistan and I’m 27 years old. I’ve been in Germany for three years. I’m currently training to become a bespoke tailor for men and I work at the Munich Volkstheater. During the communist era, my father had to leave Afghanistan and fled to Iran. That’s where he met my mother. I was born and raised in Iran. I’ve been to Afghanistan a few times. My family tried to build a new life for us. With every attempt, we faced many difficulties. I always asked myself why... but I never really understood the true reason. Afghanistan is a diverse country. There are many different languages, ethnic groups, and a rich culture, so people could live together peacefully. But there is war — and it has been going on for years. So many people have been killed, have lost everything, or have been forced to flee. But the coin has another side too: hope.

Greetings, this is Sayed. I was also part of KINO ASYL in 2015 and 2016, and over the past few years I’ve experienced a lot about how integration can succeed in our diverse society. In a society where many people have a migration background, mutual understanding is essential. This is also the core goal of KINO ASYL: to promote a respectful, resilient, and diverse future by showcasing films from different cultures and creating spaces for people to connect. Intercultural understanding is a real challenge for each individual and for society as a whole. In general, it is one of the most important things in our society. I believe that integration also involves processes of developing awareness, culture, behavior, and attitudes—this is what we call cultural integration. Getting to know both German culture and that of the person opposite you is essential to facilitate mutual understanding and make participation a reality. During my many years of work as an intercultural mediator—supporting international soldiers and volunteers in my home country Afghanistan, in India and Pakistan, and now as a migration and integration advisor in Germany—I have encountered a wide range of cultural misunderstandings among refugees. I want to share my experience with society. In doing so, a deep wish of mine is being fulfilled: to contribute to a more peaceful society. I look forward to the challenges that come with this.
