🌟 Meet Apostolis 👉 Born in Albania, he moved to Greece with his parents at just three years old.

Although he is fully integrated in Greek culture, he experienced discrimination due to his Albanian origins. Because of this, he feels deeply against racism and how it affects young people:

💬 “It was very sad. Because many children lose a part of themselves through this process. They start to hide who they are.”

💫 Meet Katerina! The daughter of parents who moved from Georgia to Greece in search of a better life, she always felt part of both communities, regardless of where she was born.

💬 “Sometimes, when I’m in Georgia, I feel Greek, and when I’m in Greece, I feel Georgian. I think it’s because I was raised with both cultures.”
