This ongoing collection brings together short video excerpts from interviews with young people in New York, Berlin, and other cities, reflecting on belonging, migration, family, discrimination, and everyday life.
Young people and immigrants are often spoken about in debates on migration, but rarely centered as experts and interpreters of their own lives. Their reflections show how policies, histories, and social norms are lived in everyday moments. The collection is intentionally transnational — not to flatten differences, but to surface shared questions across borders.
Explore the stories by theme, through curriculum pathways, through curated collections, by storyteller, or by browsing the full archive.

As soon as I took the train past my stop into Manhattan for high school it started...as soon as a white woman or white man would look at me they just took their purse, put their hands in their pockets, shift over, stand, change their position...Like, 'Damn, what did I do?'
