Asylum and migration are themes widely covered by the media. And it is not easy to explain in a few words what it is all about. Where do these people come from? Why are they fleeing their country? How does a reception centre look like? Who can stay in Belgium afterwards? And what happens to the people who have to return home?

« On the run – Asylum seekers in Belgium » is an animated film in which we show younger people the path followed by asylum seekers. In a language suitable for students, we explain the difference between a migrant, an asylum seeker and a refugee. In six minutes, the animated film teaches them some basic concepts around asylum and migration.
