Flyttfåglar

Have you ever moved from one place to another? Is there any common aspects of people´s experiences and stories about moving, irrespective of the different places they have moved from?

"Flyttfåglar" is the Swedish word for migratory birds and the project Flyttfåglar is a platform where young people tell their own stories about moving, using digital storytelling as a method. Since the project is carried out in Växjö, the participants have in common the fact that all of them have moved to this city. In addition to the stories about moving, we also get a glimpse of how it is to be young and live in Växjö today.

The digital stories concerning this are made public by being exhibited in various places throughout Växjö, and will also be presented at UR´s webbsite and in political contexts. In this way we want to pay attention to words like culture, borders, immigration, emmigration, foreigner, belonging etc. Our wish is also to create meetings and curiosity between people, no matter ages and backgrounds. All of it by using traditional narration in a modern shape.
