During the summer 2008, the staff of RAMZ took part in a project called REFUGIUM. By mixing photography, digital storytelling and graphic design, all show online, REFUGIUM aims to help change the way refugees and Norwegian born people see each other. To view the project go to www.whatisyourrefuge.com

33 million people worldwide live in exile. Every day people fear for their lives on the basis of race, religion, nationality or political beliefs. More than 40 percent of refugees are children. Imagine that you had to leave your home behind for such reasons. What would make you feel safe and welcome in your new country? What is your refuge, now?

REFUGIUM is a three month project that has been made possible thanks to the generosity of the EU program Youth in Action, Bergen Kommune, Save the Children and Mediaverkstedet i Bergen (MiB).
