Reception

Chios Voices was launched in February 2017 as an online platform for the creative and critical reflections of refugee children and youth on Chios Island, Greece. In the belief that those best suited to shine a light on migration are refugees themselves, Chios Voices publishes poetry, prose, art, opinion, photography and video made by young writers and artists. In conjunction with Refugee Education Chios, teenagers pursue journalism and art courses, developing vocational skills that empower them to respond personally to their own situation. Working with translators and graphic designers from around the world, the Chios Voices project also seeks to establish a network of creative responses to the work of refugee students on Chios.
