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.

My sister — when she was in Guatamala, she was a beauty queen... When she came here to the U.S., she got herself some green contacts, some blue eye contacts, and she dyed her hair blonde… That’s their idea of beauty.
