Dutch researcher Maurice Crul from the University of Amsterdam visits the Metropolis conference in Bonn. A conference about integration in the European Union. Crul presents his research that concludes that, compared to the Netherlands, Belgium and especially France, migrant students in Germany stay behind in education. In the German most of the migrant pupils do not manage to enter higher education.
In the Netherlands the InHolland University educates many migrant students. Through a mentor project young migrant students are linked with older students for extra guidance and help. Most of the migrant students find a job after they finished their education.
A successful Dutch Moroccan girl explains how she did it. She works at the external communication department of a large company. Because of her success and mentorship at the Inholland University, she received the yearly student price from the Dutch Minister of Education. Entering school at a young age, choosing the final education at a late age and extra attention, turn out to be the reasons behind the success of migrant students in The Netherlands.
The background reportage program Tagesthemen from the German first public TV channel ARD wants to broadcast a reportage about the success of migrant students in the Netherlands.
For this reportage Featurez did the research, set-up and planning of the filming, booked a camera crew, did the direction and interviews and accompanied the satellite transfer of the video material.
