10:35 pm
of any shows with comparative the graduation sheet java or no with actually nationwide. so wish you a little bit of a cali joining us 1st is zoe m e r e. so i welcome to the stream, you're joining us from london where you're a piece ambassador for one young world. you're also a twice displaced person who advocates for refugees. so i want to start by asking you about your personal story here. i mean, i have some photos right here on my computer of your life leaving ukraine. could you tell us a bit about your displacement and the work you're doing for refugees? hello everyone and thank you for this introduction. my name is zoe. oh, i am half but canyon and half ukrainian. for most of my life, i was living in
10:36 pm
a palestinian refugee camp in lebanon, in an environment that is filled with a child abuse mental illnesses and ongoing clashes. in 2020 a huge explosion happened in the city of killing a key twin keys. 200 people. and that's one me and my family we decided to move to ukraine. and that was our 2nd time moving to ukraine, because back in 2006, we moved to ukraine after the war between israeli and lebanon occurred in 2006. we moved into ukraine just before the war started in one year. we decided to start a new life a more peaceful life. so we have been living in ukraine for a whole year in a peaceful mood in a peaceful and peace of mind. and that's when the worst started around one year ago . and we had to keep the work for the 2nd time in our life, and becoming at effigy for the 2nd time in my life. and that is being apple is king
10:37 pm
in refugee in lebanon. and now you, cranium. refugee was i, i mean, i can imagine that your life has been marked by loss, by displacement, by occupation, so many times. and yet you seem so, so resilient, i want, i want to know, you know, what does this anniversary of the invasion mean to you personally? miss any 1st city reminds me of my story because this is not the 1st time dad me and my family had to go through a war, had to go through so much finance and we have been living in an environment with so much for it. and i don't, but yet it keeps on remind me of that it's in here that we have within us. and that's why we always share our story. because always tory, remind us of how humans are of how positive and resilient we can be. and because of my mom's positivity that has been contagious on our tombly and on the whole
10:38 pm
community we're living and remind ourselves of that is only and that we have and we do fight, we fight. but in a more peaceful way, we fight with words. we fight with our resistance, and that's how research. and so i'm curious, you know, you mentioned that 1st you are a palestinian refugee living in lebanon again, ukrainian refugee now living in europe. i can imagine those 2 identities, perhaps you were having very different experiences in terms of adapting and being welcomed. could you, could you just share with us a little bit about what that contrast is for you. when i was sharing my story in switzerland, i have been up this question, what's my opinion and articulate regarding this. and i do know that i'm stuck in between because at the public union record, she never known, i was denied of a luck of rights. i wasn't allowed to work despite the fact that i graduated with my new friends just because i didn't have that beneath passport and now be coming
10:39 pm
to switzerland. and just in 10 days i was able to have and receive good i to work. and that really makes me wonder and your wife, like from one side i had been living as a police union, refugee who was denied from a lot of fries. and now as a ukrainian refugee, i was more privileged. but then this is something i was sharing with my switch from the dish room and we had hosted all for 3 months in the house. we were sharing and talking about this. and we do think of that in human psychology that people in europe are more compassionate. to ukrainians, but this is something just next door to them. but also that doesn't mean that up humans. we should be helping everyone out, including post unions and ukrainian. no, i'm not so well articulated. i mean, i have to also ask you, i'd be remiss julia not to ask you. it seems like the world, despite the enduring circumstances,
10:40 pm
young people in ukraine are going through. there's a lot of support for the resistance. there's support generally in the world for the resistance, the right to resist and ukraine as a palestinian, i'm wondering when you see the opposite in many instances, true seems palestinian resistance being criminalized as an ambassador for this young one young world. what, what, what do you want the world to know about refugees in general and those who are facing occupation? of course. so as refugees, i want the whole world to know that refugees are not tattered to refugees. all this resist with the power that they have, for example, if dependent kimmie and refugees don't have gone, they do quite with stones. and this is something i have learned as a politician refugee in dublin, and we had always taught with our power, with resistance and our education with the means that we were able to fight with. and now as ukrainian refugees. we also fight and that's how we survive. we continue
10:41 pm
to fight the peaceful way of white and most definitely. and joining this conversation, also with us is alexandra come in years, a peer to peer counsellor with teen energizer, a leading mental health support network that's taken on a lot of extra work. as you can imagine during the war. could you tell us about what teen energy? teen energizer? am i saying that correctly? i hope so. is and what did i yeah. what it's actually doing and how you got involved. hello. be and this is meant to the united europe. and so what are our nation's
10:42 pm
work in all faction and violence and i phone be human and enjoy in june. my thought and then from august i you, i haven't been you know, i were showing some people, some of the images of what your organization is doing. and i also want to share with people more about what you've been doing. some photos that you've been posting from your social media showing your support for the troops. look at this one here. really, i want to know what this anniversary means to you and where you think your resistance and the work that you're doing is most impactful. it's very difficult for me because i know tomorrow and we need to
10:43 pm
know i want to be in tomorrow as soon team. but him for me. it's so difficult. yeah. i've been living in the school and it made me in my book to be in that situation and you know, i wonder when you hear some of what she was saying, they're like sandra and other young ukrainians. you've spoken to. obviously everyone has a very different experience. what something you really want people to know about what it's been like, particularly for young people. yes, of course. i always say every single person has a unique story to tell,
10:44 pm
and that's why i am working on a story telling project with other piece ambassadors from one your world. and we're trying to bring the stories of fresh, achieves and displeased people and migrants from all around the world to sure about their stories and be their own story tellers. because i do believe that the stories that to be unto ourselves, presumptive now but ukrainian refugees, we altogether, we carry a lot of pain inside us and a lot of similar struggle. and i do believe that these struggles and all this pain could be transformed and be out peaceful what weapon for all of us. and it's very important to sure our story in a more powerful way because yeah, i do believe that now they use the ukrainians. everyone who are still there in ukraine and everyone who managed to escape the work, i do believe that everyone is carrying a lot of pain inside them. and this pain should be seen as a power. this pain should fuel us to be doing
10:45 pm
a lot of positive changes for ukraine and toward the world. and, you know, we wanna bring more young voices into this conversation from ukraine. we have marco, who is a 17 year old student who talks about his hope, but also the real toll that this is taken on her. he's taking his credit on stressful experience overall. ah, suddenly i was, i was alone. and in a city that i've lived all of my life in and i felt like i knew no one because you know, my, my classmates, they were no longer here. some of them are still in europe. very few came back and i felt so isolated. i wonder what comes to mind alexandra, zoe, when you, when you see him speaking there and in the context of the different generations.
10:46 pm
zoe, the different generations here. what's the experience like when you talk to your older ukrainian brothers and sisters? of course, this is something that i can relate to in my home the for example, my grandpa. gibberish car. he stayed in ukraine and we always talk about the war and the impacts. and i do believe this in the ration now, the generation that is leading the change and all these initiative by the use, why the young people in a way, we are receiving a lot of wisdom from the older generation. and we need that, we need their power, we need their knowledge, we need this wisdom from down in the ordered all this with them to us in a way to better recreate the projects that we are working on. so i think that what to be sure to do all what we are doing in the youth comes in a way related to the help that we are receiving from the older generation. the people who had already experienced a lot in their life. and you know, we also have
10:47 pm
a video that was sent to us by anna and is the head of young women piece builders. she talks to us about sort of the burnout that she experienced. all this work that you're doing, you know, fighting as you say, advocating takes its toll as well. as we've said, take a listen to what anna central emilita in the last year. i can definitely say it's been a difficult and tiring here. now we are facing the slow down in our activities since people are getting tired of combining full time jobs with the full time volunteer and, and some of us are still pursuing our degree similar tentatively and talking about women in particular. we all face hours of non base work at home, which also affects the amount of resources we may allocate to meaningful volunteering. but i hope for the best and i hope we elaborate the you activities in
10:48 pm
the nearby future. so alexandra, i mean you heard there, i can imagine you can relate to some of those mental health challenges and just being exhausted. what can you share with us about how you stay positive and optimistic because i dont know how to do these. and then i tried to ride to mine in my code to be in b. so i tried to go over all the books is not all right. yeah, it's all the time i stop
10:49 pm
and um i go and i want to, i saw that you wanted to add something, but before you do, i want to share with our audience a rave. essentially a clean up rave that took place and you can take a look at this and we'll talk about it on the other side. so you ah, with zora that video certainly harnesses the power that you were talking about. not just
10:50 pm
of resilience, the power of just getting up and continuing. what can you share with us? what did you want to add after all, sandra's? yes, i do relate to what alexandra assured. and i truly believe that people are tired. people are exhausted. whether in ukraine or outside you in my community where i live in switzerland, people want to go back home. they just missed their home because it's not easy at all to be a living in a country. and then out of a sudden because of a word because of the violence because of people dying, they needed to go out and escape to a c friend vitamin for their, for their children, for the purpose of having their children in a more peaceful environment. it's not easy, old people are tired and we do have pain inside of that the same time i do see hope as well. and that's what is reflected in that easier. but i also do believe that in order to do all the work that we are doing in order to bring peace to the world, we need to bring peace to ourselves purse because everything that we do on the
10:51 pm
outside, it's directly reflect to what we have inside of, and in order for us to bring a better positive change in the world, we need to take of our mental health and something that i also could remember and to call and reflect as well is the survivor guilt. when we asked keep the word in ukraine, we didn't hear that we are going to somehow because we survived, because just few days after i escaped the war, i saw a woman and 2 children who were lying on the ground dead with their dog. and i could imagine what if that was my family, what if that were me and i think the survival goes in a way it's fuels, all the things that we are to lingle everything we are trying to achieve in a way. because we survived put at ethan. i think that that ethan of our survival, to bring the best for the ukrainian people and for the world. so zoe, i'm also curious. i mean, you know, if i'm not mistaken, a russian family,
10:52 pm
a russian, excuse me, a russian lady i should say, actually help you moved from poland to switzerland and there was so much kindness along the way. is there any take away that you've, you've learned throughout this experience or some, some challenges you think are worth highlighting of your personal journey? yes, i always say that kindness is the thing that saved me and my family and starting in ukraine. we had the taxi driver who made sure that we are right to the train station when we wanted to keep your plane. and he went back because he was a man with about 18 below 60. he had to stay in the country and hide for a work to always revise. and that was the 1st act of kindness from a man who went back to fight with the worse. and then when we escaped to poland, we were hosted by a family for 44 days. and we wanted to move to switzerland and that's when the russian lady valentino and her family. they would have very kind. she called me and
10:53 pm
she asked for she, she was tore because of the war because everything that was happening. but of course she was so kind to us, we accepted her house and she managed that. we teach switzerland in a very safe way, and then in switzerland also we were hosted by our swiss family. that's because right now, the sure mans we were hosting for 3 months and a half who gave us a lot of positive and take space for us to express our pain. so i always say the kindness of the people think that the me and my family because with their kindness, with their genuine act of compassion, when you were able to regain all this positivity and resistance that we do have now . and i just want to share with you people on social media and are you tube chat funding you a lot of support. this is a tweet coming in thing. the story of a young girl, palestinian ukrainian housing and refugee. she lived in lebanon. none of the ukrainian she's living in europe twice, the drama experience of being
10:54 pm
a refugee. so certainly just clarifying for our audience that you are really a voice of authority on this issue of refugees. and so that i wanted to give you some encouragement. there are people agreeing with a lot of what you're saying. i am curious, alexandra, you know, if we think about it, it feels like the war from me, from where i'm sitting, started just yesterday and i'm wondering, you know, obviously it's been a year. don't misunderstand me. but i'm curious, this one year we heard from joy at a time move fast. what are you hoping for the future? what are you looking forward to? and yeah, what's your main hope? i did. i read them yesterday and i hope b, b, m. i am proud as my country. oh,
10:55 pm
my family and my hope and i'm and i want to ask you about your own hopes, but before i do, i would be remiss not to share because you talked about that graphic image that you have to see of the family with the dog laying on the floor and i want people to know that there are also a lot of young ukrainians who are, you know, we're supposed to continue on in life and graduation. and there's this site called an issue diploma. as you can see here, this is one of them chronicling all of those people who were supposed to graduate, but didn't this is, you have, this is, you know, and it talks about, in this case, load amir, what he wanted to do, you know, and it's kind of an, a model to the memory of people weren't as lucky as you, of course,
10:56 pm
as you said. and you were able to get out when you think of these people who lives in these people's stories. what is the way that, that, you know, best to, to, to kind of make sure their memory lives on and that this war didn't happen in vain if you will. i mean, are you optimistic that this war will end soon? this is something we can hope for, and it's very painful to read about the story and to see that the people had a lot of dreams, who had a look of hopes for the future. these people, they were children, they were daughters, they were sons, they were father, they were siblings. and we should always remember their story. and that's where i always say that the poet were the stories telling come. because true story coming, we are able to show that pain, we are able to share those struggles. it's very important to remember in order for the history not to repeat it. and i want to talk about the hopes. and this is
10:57 pm
something i remember when me as kids were left here and we were in the train going to portland, we were in one cabin with 12 other people, 8 children and adults. and we were saying good bye to the soldiers who were left behind. and my mom, we were so worried we were very anxious because at any moment we were afraid that we would get bombs. and my mom said, why don't we start thinking? and that's when we started to sing ukrainian national anthem, ukrainian folk songs. and that's where we received a lot of power. we felt all that resistance. so i do you there is i do. yeah. we are able with our positive attitude to create something beautiful out of all those hope and tragic and then as well. and i love that you're talking about hope and being grateful nonetheless, i want to share with our audience one more voice, echoing some of what you said a nicole 22 year old student from kia. take listen. hey,
10:58 pm
otherwise. sure, yeah, sure. what the most? i think i'm happy because life goes on and you can't be ungrateful for the fact that i can sit here that i can talk to you that i can live on with my life. you already could have died thousands of times, but you didn't get to. thankfully, you just appreciate what you have and you can't help it be happy about it. i can be sad because of some memories, moments in my life. but i can't say that i'm not happy with the postal. joy, alexandra, i want to thank you for taking the time to join us. best of luck on your journey is and will definitely be staying in touch with following you along the way. thank you to you at home for watching and be sure to follow us at stream dot al jazeera dot com ah ah
