There are now over 100 ongoing conflicts and crisis in world, and despite the fact that some of these have been going on for over ten years and have claimed several thousands lives, they have received very little coverage by mainstream media (over 25 years in Sri Lanka and 40 in Colombia, for example). They are, de facto, shunned by the international community at large and are generally referred to as 'forgotten conflicts'.
Several millions children and young people are confronted daily with war, and have no chance to tell the outer world about their lives, hopes and expectations, nor the way they perceive conflicts and their struggle to survive.
Forgotten Diaries is the first project of this kind.
