Episodes
Episode 1
ENGLISH EPISODE „ A Lusatian Sorb about digitalisation”
For our English episode we invited the Lusatian Sorb Syman over!
Living in Mannheim, away from his minority in Saxony, Syman realised the importance of his mother tongue in his everyday life. The result: a quiz app about the Sorbian culture and language. He gained the necessary knowledge in his studies about computer science, economics and informatics. Furthermore, we talk about minority languages and their implementation to mobile devices, and the feeling of disconnection from your home because of a missing mother tongue in a foreign place.

Our hosts are Alex, a Burgenland Croat from Austria, and Paul from the Danish minority in Germany.

She explains us, what it means to be growing up as a Sintesa in Germany and how the education work still needs to be improved.
