Das Megaphon
Das Megaphon ("The Megaphone"[1]) is a street newspaper sold by homeless in Graz and other cities in Styria, Austria. It was started in October 1995 and is run by Catholic charity Caritas.[2] The paper is published monthly with a circulation of about 13,000 copies.[2] It is sold mostly by Nigerian and Liberian male refugees.[3][4] Megaphon was one the street papers initiating the Homeless World Cup in 2001 and hosted the first cup in 2003.[1]
In 2004, Megaphon sponsored a lecture series aimed at improving homeless people's access to education; the program paid for university professors to give lectures in homeless shelters, and arranged for homeless individuals to have access to local university facilities.[5]
