Refugee Girls is a documentary by Leonardo Cinieri Lombroso that follows the lives of Robina, Bozhena and Sofia, three young refugee university students. Robina, from Afghanistan, follows courses at the Sapienza University of Rome. In Barcelona, Bozhena and Sofia, Ukrainian girls, meet during a Spanish course for refugee students.

Intertwining these stories, the documentary explores the plight of refugees and the opportunities offered by Europe. Human resilience and inner strength emerge in extreme situations. Refugee Girls invites reflection on acceptance, solidarity and the creation of a better future for those fleeing conflict and persecution.

On occasion of the Erasmus Days 2024, the international six-day celebration of the Erasmus+ programme, “Refugee Girls” will be available for streaming on October 15,16 and 17 at the following link: https://vimeo.com/1010970866

During #ErasmusDays, whose 8th edition runs from October 14 to 19, people around the world are invited to come together and either organise or participate in events celebrating the projects and opportunities offered by Erasmus+.

Indeed, the documentary is the result of a collaboration between Sapienza University of Rome, the Mediterranean Universities Universities (UNIMED), Fundació Solidaritat of the University of Barcelona, the Association of European Universities (EUA) and the International Organization for Migration (partner associate) within the UNI(di)VERSITY project funded with the support of the Erasmus+ program of the European Union.
