Next category consisted of contributions allowing a glimpse into the personal worlds of the participants. We received pictures of the participants, of their families, friends and pets, as well as pictures of intimate domestic environment. Some participants shared personal stories – among them stories of illnesses, sexual abuse, of war and refuge, but also positive experiences, such as finding love, overcoming difficulties, having fun or finding a new home. Others sent messages on specific persons – for instance, a poem in memory of the participant’s deceased grandmother, and two marriage proposals. In addition, many participants shared paintings and other artworks of their children.
