“VOICES From Migrations” is a project co-funded by the European Union exploring untold migration stories. Mohamadou Balde is originally from Senegal and arrived in Italy in 2014. This is his story:
​
“My name is Mohamadou Balde, I come from Senegal, and I am 32 years old. I have been living in Italy since November 2014, and since I arrived here, I feel more responsible.
My life in Senegal was very difficult. My family still lives there. Unfortunately, my father is no longer with us, but I still have my mother, as well as a wife and a beautiful son. I also have four brothers in Senegal.
I decided to come to Italy after my father died — he was actually the one who encouraged me to make the journey..."

“VOICES From Migrations” is a project co-funded by the European Union exploring untold migration stories. Bright had to flee Ghana in 2021 and travelled across countries before finding a home in Italy. This is his history:
​
“I’m Bright Opoku, and I come from Ghana. In 2021, I had to leave everything behind.

I hadn’t known, at the time, that the gathering I was leading would clash with another congregation - we weren’t warned. And so, as the leader of the convocation, I became targeted by the police.

Testimonials
“From the time I arrived, I started learning, meeting new people and making memories. This is my first EU event and the experience is really European. When we started working together I got to see different perspectives on different things. I have a long way ahead. This event helped me to be more socially active, express myself and made me a team player.”
EGD Szeged Participant
"The Rome Hackathon was my first ever. I was not sure what to expect but I hoped I would be able to come up with interesting solutions for the challenge, learn new things in the process, and get to meet new people. It's been 3 days since I got back and I still can't believe how great it was. It exceeded my hopes in all ways possible."
EGD Rome Participant
“Excellent organization, treatment and conduct of the event. Useful skills for critical issues of our times, and an opportunity for reflections and finding solutions with the help of young people from all over the world."
