This online interactive educational project features the stories of 15 teen refugees from 7 war zones (Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Bosnia and Kosovo, and Liberia) who are now living in the United States. Designed for young people and their teachers, this web documentary features an individualised virtual passport and travel diary, war zone timelines, and country quizzes. The primary strategy for engaging viewers in the teens' experiences is personalisation in the form of an online documentary "journey". The goal is to create a virtual peer-to-peer dialogue - bolstered by an educator-facilitated classroom experience - focused on conflict and its effect on youth around the world.
