It’s the next morning, dawn, my tenth day on the island of Lesvos. I’m driving to the camp, cigarette in one hand, phone in the other, clothes unchanged. I unlock the phone and it goes straight to Facebook. I’m confused at first. There’s a message in Arabic to a woman in Sweden:My darlingI’ve crossed the seaI’m near AthensMy phone is deadThen I understand. I remember the young man from the night before. He’s gone on. I will never see him again. I swallow a little surge of exhausted emotion and drop the phone on the empty passenger seat. Clouds are gathering fast around the mountain peak. It will rain today. And when it rains people die.

“Isolation is the feeling of sitting alone at the bottom of a well. Connectedness is the feeling of belonging.” Kim SamuelWhen you hear the word belonging, what images come to mind? What memories, feelings and life experiences have informed your personal sense of belonging? How are young people today fostering a culture of belonging and inclusion within your community?A sense of belonging is a human need, like the need for food and shelter and who we are is shaped by the people who we are connected to! Our communities thrive when people feel connected, welcomed, accepted for who they are and supported by those around us.We are interested in reflecting together on the theme of belonging in order to grow a global movement of fostering social connectedness.In the past, geographic boundaries often defined our identities and communities. In a digital age, people are either feeling hyper connected or excluded from opportunities for meaningful connection.We invite your imagination, voice and perspective on depicting visual representations on the theme of belonging so that we tackle the issue of isolation together.Our plan is to curate an online collection and exhibit to showcase at international conferences and events to inspire decision makers in policy making and action. With that in mind, please include a description with the image or video that you submit to provide additional context on the meaning of what you create.

Last week, GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump told Yahoo News that he would not rule out “a form of special identification” for Muslims “that noted their religion”—a recommendation that has drawn more than a few comparisons to Nazi Germany. Hours later, Sergeant Tayyib Rashid, a retired Marine from Chicago, posted his response on Twitter:
