What is it about?
This article follows two migrant boys from Arab background - a Syrian boy in Lebanon, and a Palestinian boy in the UK to understand how the migration environment affects children's future prospects. Diverting from the grand narratives of humanitarian assistance, the research is firmly child-centred. By sharing with us the screen and digital media they use, they express how the conflicts are shaping their world-views, identities, and their future prospects.
