Talking Books - August 2026

How do Ukrainian teenagers adapt to life in emigration? In this episode, we explore the inspiring journey of young Ukrainians in Warsaw who are turning the challenges of displacement into an opportunity for growth.

We are joined by Svitlana Mialyk (Світлана Мялик) and Iva Lomas (Іва Ломас) to discuss a vital educational project: a Media School for Ukrainian youth. This isn't just about learning technical skills; it’s a lifeline for teenagers navigating the complexities of living abroad.

 

Ukrainian Youth: Adapting in Poland

Behind every headline about the war in Ukraine, there is a generation of young people navigating the quiet, complex struggle of building a life in a new country. This video takes you inside a unique Media School in Warsaw, where Ukrainian teenagers are doing more than just learning technical skills—they are finding their voices and reclaiming their futures.

Media School in Warsaw: Our Story

For many of these young people, the transition to life abroad is a journey marked by profound displacement and the search for identity. In an era where information is often used as a weapon, we focus on providing them with the essential tools of media literacy. “Our curriculum empowers them to identify propaganda, challenge misinformation, and understand the nuance of the digital world”- Svitlana Mialyk.

Can Media Literacy Save a Generation?

In the UK, we deeply value the freedom of speech and the importance of a well-rounded education. By supporting these media literacy initiatives, we are helping these resilient teenagers protect themselves against the psychological toll of conflict and disinformation.

The Reality of Being a Refugee Student

Join us as we explore how education and community can transform the challenges of emigration into a powerful story of adaptation and strength. Together, we can ensure that these voices are not just heard, but are equipped to lead.

Support our youth as they learn to tell their own stories.
