Katy Long continues her history of 100 years of refugee politics.

Katy Long continues her history of 100 years of refugee politics, as she discusses the refugee experience.

Katy Long examines what the century of refugee politics has taught us about how to deal with a refugee crisis.

100 years on from a refugee crisis on Europe's borders which lead to the first High Commissioner for Refugees, Katy is examining how refugee crises start, what it is like to be a refugee, how the business of supporting refugees has changed (and grown), and how refugee crises end. She's speaking to refugees and former refugees, to those who work with them and to the politicians who decide what will become of them.

In this second episode, about the human experience of being a refugee, and working with them, Katy will examine how the refugee camp has come to be symbolic of the refugee experience. She'll examine the refugee business and the explosive growth of organisations supporting refugees. And as she speaks to refugees, and hears the hopes and dreams of those who live in refugee camps, she'll consider what the future might hold for them.

Producer: Giles Edwards
Assistant Producers: George Dabby and Ignatius Bahizi.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
