It was one of our very first nights during the short course. I remember sitting on the couch with Giovani, deep in conversation, when Viktoria and Sonia joined us. When Sonia joined us, she brought Ukrainian candy and cookies - small, colorful pieces of sweetness.

Hi everyone! My name is Sonia, I’m 17, and I come from Ukraine!
This summer I had the privilege of participating in (RE)Defining Equality, which has completely overhauled my life. It shaped me and changed my worldview so deeply that I won’t be able to look at this world the same ever again. It’s hard to believe that everything I experienced was real.

Well… For me, REDEQ22 started when...

Today in Imst was a triumph of colours, cultures, traditional costumes, dances and smiles. This was the top point of the group that has been created in this 2 weeks lived together.

Imagine living in the XXIst century in one of the most developed countries of the first world. You feel safe, freely express your religion and wear clothes that are part of your culture, but at the same time, you don’t harm anyone and expect the same respect. You have a right to that, unfortunately, it is broken way too often.
