Tumarankè refutureTumaranké in the Bambara language means “leaving your country in search of a better future”. In Sicily, a workshop on image education invites minor migrants recently arrived in Italy to tell their story, using the easiest tool at their disposal: the smartphone. The result is an intimate and surprising diary, a cross section of their life in Italy, their life in the community, their school, their dreams, their fragility and their moments of solitude, their homesickness, their friendship, their inclusion in a new country where, day after day, while learning a new language, they discover and make us discover a culture of inclusion which is achievable, thus laying the foundations for a common future.
