Stereotypes
“Bad stereotypes of Muslims and Arabs are
shaped by the Polish media. Not openness.
What makes us difficult to get on well with
each other is stereotypes. You start talking
to someone and when you say you’re a
Muslim everybody is looking at me with
fear and the talk stops to be loose”
“There are many students from different
countries at the university and in
Hannover who complain that some
professors treat us like children, supposing
that we might have a very little knowledge.
Stereotype and feeling of superiority over
the poor countries… it also shapes one’s
behaviour and the behaviour changes.
Unfortunately…”.

“What I learned is that it is most
important to go through the

know how to do it. I was, for
