An overnight career change. Switching the language you love in. This week, how war transforms your life in ways you’d never expect.

This is the final instalment of our award-winning mini-series This Is What A Generation Sounds Like, a co-production by The Europeans and Are We Europe, made in cooperation with the Allianz Foundation. You can find the other episodes, which take us from Italy to Belarus, here.
