The Syrian refugees becoming tour guides in Berlin

Tens of thousands of refugees have made their way to the German capital Berlin from war-torn Syria.

From October 2012 to June 2014, the tree-lined square Oranienplatz in Kreuzberg became a makeshift refugee camp.

It prompted many tourists visiting the city to ask about the refugee crisis.

One British tour guide, who lived near the square, came up with the idea of setting up a walking tour where refugees could tell tourists their story.

Lorna Cannon, the Project Manager for Refugee Voices spoke to Rajan Datar.
