Summary/Abstract: In times of globalization as well as third decade of 21st century, not only complexity andfragmentation have become crucial topics, but also the challenges of forced migration have turned intoa discursified problem of major importance. According to the United Nations High Commissioner forRefugees (UNHCR), more than two million people have applied as asylum seekers in Europe in 2015(UNHCR, 2015). At the same time, the number of anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim parties worldwideas well as in Europe increased. Research on media and political discourse shows, that media and pressbring forth negative news about refugees and migrants, especially around Muslim people (Wodak,2015). While the term ‘refugee crises’ was coined by the media and in politics, the debates onintercultural opening of organizations became an academically addressed issue, too (Göhlich, 2012).
