The Asylum Game – Failed Asylum Seekers Compete on TV
In the Dutch TV show ‘Weg van Holland’ failed asylum seekers can win 4.000 euros which helps them to make a new start in their country of origin to which they will send back. The winner is the person who demonstrates he or she knows their adopted country the best. TV viewers can also join the competition and compare their knowledge with that of the candidates. The winner among the TV viewers gets a (return!) ticket to the Caribbean island of Curacao. What is the idea behind this?
