Integration 2.0: why the old system in Germany fails (DS2025)

How the German integration system is delaying integration, and what the russian propaganda has to do with it Germany’s integration system was never built to help newcomers quickly find work. It was created decades ago for very different reasons — to slow things down, to keep migrants out of the labour market, to “protect” the status quo. That kind of system can’t suddenly start working in the opposite way. And today, with millions displaced by war, its limits are painfully clear. Long waiting times, endless paperwork, and wasted skills are not just personal tragedies — they are opportunities for Russian propaganda to exploit, sowing mistrust and division. Through real cases from Ukrainian refugees, we’ll show how these outdated structures affect lives every day and how, in the wrong hands, bureaucracy becomes a weapon Licensed to the public under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/de/ about this event: https://talks.datenspuren.de/ds25/talk/8BJF9W/
