Let's discuss... Calling all of Eastern European origin/descent in the UK Do you feel we are represented through British mainstream media?
Do you see figures you can relate to on screen?
Hear Eastern European voices and their stories?...

- Hi Jasmine,We are defintely not represented in a correct way, I would say.Usually the Eastern Europeans are marginalised and seen as a negative character. (prostitutes, hackers, thieves, etc)
- Hi Jasmine,I'm from Hungary and live in the UK for 12 years with no intention to go back. Honestly I don't feel represented on any level, had funny situations when I had to realise the average British people has zero understanding about the countries or culture of Eastern Europe.
- It is a rare situation. This is why some of my events are focusing on the representation of "underground" writers, ideas and startups. The issue is that 90% of these groups are considered as not-mainstream. 5% are lucky and the other 5% can actually pay for their promotion.
- Hi Jasmine,I actually never gave this any thought but now that you have opened this discussion I can say simply no. I do not feel represented on the mainstream British media or creative industry for that instance.
