Through video calls, I bring peace to my relationship with my grandma. I let her participate in my life. My grandma used to love to go for walks, so I often take her with me on my walks via video. My grandma lives in India and I live in Germany.

I am there for my brothers and sisters. I'm a bit like a father to them, only from a different generation - with a bit more understanding.
Imam, 33 years, Syria
I love to hear stories from the older generation. From times when I haven't lived yet. Listening to people is the basis for peace.

My mother is like a lighthouse. She is where the shore is. The safe ground. She shines far and wide. That's how my mother is for me and that's how I want to be for my children.

When a girl turns 15 in Ecuador, there is a big celebration. A girl's fifteenth birthday means that she is now recognised as a woman in society. From now on, for example, it is allowed to put on make-up, wear high heels and have a boyfriend. The celebration on the day of the fifteenth birthday is like a wedding, only in pink. There is a mass in the church and a big party afterwards.

Omugov is the traditional term for postpartum care. The mother, mother-in-law or a close relative comes to the mother and the newborn. They do most of the housework and take care of the mother and the baby. This includes holding the baby at night so the mother can catch up on sleep. At Omugow, there is pepper soup and massage with hot water on the mother's stomach. This helps to loosen and flush out blood clots from the mother's body after birth. The baby gets a massage every day with a special baby shower. Omugov lasts for two months.
