Bridging Wars Through Books
Description
Two refugees from war zones—Kanstantsin from Belarus and Amir from Russia—found unexpected common ground at a New Mexico college, where they turned their shared trauma into a mission. Fleeing conflict, they launched the Svet Peace Project, an online seminar connecting students from Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus through literature and philosophy. Now expanding to include American teens, they’re teaching global youth to see beyond “us vs. them,” using Nobel-winning authors to show the richness of human experience. Despite government scrutiny and personal risk, they’re building bridges—one story, one discussion, one student at a time.
