The first three chapters were written by a trans-national team from Italy, Germany and Finland during the Politics Spring School that took place in April 2011 in Crete, Greece.
Initially, the story focused on situations in which migrants, refugees and expatriates outnumber the “original” population.

the migrant districts in Berlin (where ‘original’ Germans are minority) and
the European metropol Brussels (where the proportion of migrants is expected to be about 70% by 2020).
