When Russian troops invaded Ukraine in 2022, schools were destroyed. Almost a year later, three young Ukrainians resume their education.
What if one day you woke up and your whole life was gone? How would you continue living if suddenly the violence of war became your reality? When Russian troops invaded Ukraine in February 2022, schools were destroyed by relentless shelling and the country was paralyzed. Almost a year later, classes have started again and schools are being rebuilt with humanitarian support from the European Union. In When I Grow Up, Claire Billet and Olivier Jobard follow three tenacious young Ukrainians as they resume their education despite the fighting. They explain how they do it, how they keep their dreams and hopes alive and how they get on with their lives in a war-torn country.
