What is the Mediterranean Sea? The frontier of Europe? A graveyard? or a space where anything is possible? #blueborder, a non-profit project produced by cafebabel.com and that I managed as an editor-in-chief, explore the youth of five Mediterranean islands: five cobblestones lost in the great blue, each with one foot in and one foot out of the European Union. 

What are the dreams of the young people living on these islands? What are their hopes? What are they fighting for? Isolated, yet at the same time anchored to their respective identities, Malta, Cyprus, Sicily, Crete and Corsica are much more than mass tourism destinations.From migration to environmental challenges to independence movements, these isles have often played an avant garde role in setting the pivotal questions that will define the future of Europe.

25 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Beyond91′, a beautiful editorial project translated into 7 languages, that I coordinated as editor-in-chief, explores Eastern Europe through the eyes of the ‘Perestroika Generation’. Along those seven cross-border stories produced by fourteen incredibly talented journalists and photographers from Eastern Europe, Beyond91′ wants to unveil contemporary societies of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia at a crucial time.
