What the voices of young people have in common is that they are often given little attention in discussions about solutions to armed conflicts and to their experiences of flight and violence — and when they are, the public tends to talk about rather than with them.
This graphic novel changes that 14 young people from Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Ukraine share their personal experiences of war and displacement. Against the backdrop of recent events in Europe, we make visible the underrepresented stories of young people.
