The University “Fehmi Agani” in Gjakova in collaboration with UNIMED presented to its students the film “Refugee Girls” of director Leonardo Cinieri Lambroso.

This was a unique occasion for our students to reflect on the important topics of refugees and to promote the cultural and social dialogue in an open and friendly environment.

The film describes the history of three student girls that are refugees in Rome and Barcelona. Through this perspective, "Refugee Girls" describes the challenges and the opportunities that Europe offers for the refugees, while describing their journey in the integration and creation of a new identity.

The film was received with great interest from our students and after the screening, the director of the film, Leonardo Cinieri Lombroso, was a special guest for discussion. The director shared his experience of the making of this film to the finalization of it, while the attendees shared their experiences and asked questions about the film.

Also present online in the discussion was the UNIMED Project Official Ms. Ludovica De Benedetti.

"Refugee Girls" is the result of a successful collaboration between UNIMED, University Sapienza in Rome, Fundació Solidaritat of the University of Barcelona, European Universities Association (EUA) and the International Organization for Migration regarding the project of  UNI(di)VERSITY, supported by the program Erasmus+ of European Union. The documentary was officially published in Festivalin Ndërkombëtar të Dokumentarit Visioni dal Mondo in Milan and was screened on Sunday 17 September in the presence of the director. It was further screened on 22 September in University Foro Italico in Rome- within the framework of the ENSE 2023 Forum – and on 3 October 2023 at the promises of the University of Barcelona.
