Uncivilised. Illegal. Security threat.


Labels and statistics have been used to dehumanise refugees and displaced communities around the world to justify hostile asylum policies, inhuman treatment and direct discrimination.


Join us as More Than A Statistic takes you on a journey to destroy one stereotype at a time and rehumanise the narrative, by putting the narrative back where it belongs, with the people themselves.

  • Voices from the Drina: Discussing what social media newsfeeds would have looked like during the Bosnian Genocide with Georgio Konstandi.
    Nov 9 2025

    What would social media newsfeeds have looked like during the Bosnian Genocide? In this episode, Georgio Konstandi introduces Voices from the Drina, a new educational project that simulates a social media newsfeed to present the events of the Bosnian Genocide (1992-1995) as if unfolding in real time through the voices of survivors. Georgio also discusses the significance of understanding the broader context of the Bosnian Genocide beyond Srebrenica and the ongoing implications of the Dayton Peace Agreement.
