War in Ukraine

Transnational Showcases are the heart of the project and bring our partners together to create powerful stories across borders. They collaborate closely to explore shared themes, combining their perspectives in special editions, online clusters, or thematic series. From shaping the idea to publishing the content, each showcase is a true joint creation. Our young journalists will also contribute and be part of this transnational collaboration, and audiences are invited to engage through events around the showcase topics.

Now living in Denmark, Aleksandra tries to balance adapting to Danish society and dealing with trauma.
