Building a German Community: A Story from the Leader of the German Canadian Club

Description
-
This project is a digital documentation of one German immigrant's life growing up in the London community. The project primarily focuses on Jurgen Belle (the president of the German-Canadian Club in London), who has been a member of London's German community from a very young age. He reflects on events he participated in as a child, such as soccer games and Sunday traditions. Now, as a leader in the community, he explains how he works hard to keep the German community thriving. Jurgen also shares the struggles young, German immigrants experienced in the school system and racism directed towards German community in recent years. To accomplish a well-rounded presentation several meetings were held before the final interview at the German-Canadian Club. In the conclusion, we discover Jurgen has a strong connection to German culture because of the community he is a part of, regardless of the fact he has spent majority of his life in Canada.
