That, however, doesn\u2019t mean that everyone is taken care of. Berlin hosts 10.000 homeless people, that\u2019s over 20% of all homeless people in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this audio report, we wanted to find out how one experiences life on the streets of Berlin, what the city is doing to tackle homelessness and which solutions are already there. The report was produced in December 2020, pre-Covid, therefore the impact of the virus on the life of homeless people has not been reported upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We talked to Alex, who has lived on the streets for two years now. \u201cWhat would help me would be entertainment, I need distraction (\u2026) I\u2019m trapped in my head all the time,\u201d he said sitting under a bridge at Wedding\u2019s Hansaplatz, while explaining why he avoids the capital\u2019s shelters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every week a group of volunteers \u2013 from the organization&nbsp;<em>Berliner Obdachlosenhilfe<\/em>&nbsp;\u2013 gathers in Wedding to provide people with food, clothes, and a warm conversation. We met Alex through the organization and talked to its volunteers who, through their weekly encounters, know the population well and call upon the city to start acting up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The magazine \u2018Arts of the Working Class\u2019 is one of those who have done so. The magazine is sold by homeless people as equal partners. Its online editor, Hallie Frost, explained that the magazine\u2019s goal is to provide people with a wage, instead of being dependent on charity. \u201cOur main goal is to redistribute economic wealth,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To\u00a0listen to\u00a0the\u00a0podcast, follow the link below:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Homelessness by HMKW Digital Stories\" width=\"584\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1043053102&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxwidth=584&#038;maxheight=876&#038;dnt=1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A podcast by Sonia Chien, Lamyae Lasfar, Volha Khomich, Annette N\u00f6stlinger, and Ole Wetjen (MA Digital Journalism) produced as part of the module Media Production with lecturer Clarisse Cossais.
