“Solidarity” and “indifference”: the auto-ethnography of a working teacher in refugee camps in Greece

Having worked for almost seven years as an educator for refugee children in various camps in geographically isolated industrial and rural areas of Greece, the author narrates his experience, exploring how this specific ideological and spatial framework shapes the subjectivity and actions of the workers. Using the method of auto-ethnography, he highlights the ways in which such a framework not only produces a particular form of ‘solidarity’ but also frustration and ‘indifference’, transforming the workers into accomplices of policies of exclusion and marginalization.
