Today's Webtip: The Frontier

First hand stories from the frontline of the refugee crisis.

The media has been full of stories of refugees for well over a year now. Most of these stories have been told from a third-person perspective. Reporters, politicians, pundits and frightened europeans or those who have decided to help.

A few resources have popped up to share the stories from the people who have had to flee, and some of them are even told by the refugees themselves. A new one just went online last week. It's thefrontier.io, and promises to provide a platform for refugee writers, film-makersand producers to share their own stories in their own words.

It's a bit empty right now, with only three stories online, but it's a project that might be worth keeping an eye on.
