Aangespoelden

I recently became aware of the word: “Aangespoelden”. Being an immigrant myself it really hit - I felt identified by it. But it is usually used here, for people who are not originally from Gent, but ended living here. It literally means “Washed Ashore”. 

It hit because I consider myself an immigrant!

 My final year project for “Digital Storytelling” will be about that topic. 

My integration process in Belgium as an immigrant!
