What would you miss the most if you had to leave Malta?

Refugee Week Malta is a festival that invites all of us to reflect on complex, human questions—questions we often don’t ask ourselves… until we’re forced to. Either by choice or by force, leaving your home country is never easy.

The Refugee Week Malta Advisory Group has highlighted the importance of using the festival to raise awareness and promote understanding of what a “day in the life of an asylum seeker” can look like. This Vox Pop emerged in direct response to that need—finding a way to spark personal empathy for situations that are so often outside of one’s control.

So, we asked:

If you had to leave Malta—

What would you miss the most?

But more than that—

What is the one thing you would take with you?

The one thing you wouldn’t leave behind for anything in the world?
