“I am a lot of colours, because I have a lot of lives, a lot of me, a lot of myself”. Identities of adolescent refugee students in Greece.

The study attempts to bring to light the voice of Afghani refugees, girls and boys aged between 14 and 17. The adolescents, having been forced to cross many geographical borders, but also to suddenly ‘grow up’, got trapped in Greece, are being ‘hosted’ in a container within a refugee camp and are attending a state school, waiting for the next ‘port of call’ to cast anchor. Using a combination of techniques and tools, we examine how the adolescents see themselves, construct and (re)define their identities, while in transit and in relation to their families, their social and educational background, their experiences and their journeys. The research focuses on their educational integration, through the case study of the school they attend and on the way that this affects their identity, their daily life and life course.
