„Na dole to Izrael, na górze Stany Zjednoczone, a uchodźcy to Palestyńczycy” – aktywiści, projekty integracyjne i samoorganizacja uchodźców w przestrzeni Rog w Lublanie
„Down is Israel, upstairs United States, and refugees are Palestinians” – activists, integration projects and self-organization of refugees in Rog’s space in Ljubljana

Summary/Abstract: Since 2015 Slovenia has become an important place on the Balkan refugee route. From the transit country it transformed into a country where more and more refugees decide to settle their lives. The article describe the story of Second Home – a place created by and for refugees and Slovenian activists. Activities fund by integration programs are critically analyzed by one of the “beneficiaries” of the projects – an Iranian refugee. The critical perspective reveals paternalistic behavior of privileged local activists involved in helping refugees. The example of a small community of refugees and activists in Ljubljana points to a broader problem when NGO organizations and volunteers replace the state’s duties and obligations.
