I’m alive

The exhibition I’m Alive includes interviews with refugees and their stories about how smartphones and the internet helped them during their dangerous, long journeys towards safety.

The I’m Alive exhibition also showcases innovative initiatives that have helped refugees, of which mobile technology has often been an essential element.
