Our young days are usually marked with sunny, warm, and bright 

moments flooded with hope and joy, but uninvited guests of life such as 

insecurities and uncertainties may also appear on the life journey in 

unexpected and unprepared forms.


Often stumbled and shaken, ‘young’ we slog through the hardships 

and challenges in our own ways and move on.


This is especially true for refugee youth.


Here are three young people who are making their ways embracing 

‘who they are’ despite the challenge they have faced as refugees. 

Determined to get through the huddles in their paths with resilience 

and faith in themselves,

they have reshaped their identity from refugees to global citizens.


Come and join the stage where these young leaders share their stories.

Be inspired, be empowered, and be a messenger of hope yourself!
