Since what happened on Maidan Square in Kiev in February 2014, the population of the eastern part of the Ukraine is victimized by geopolitical rivalries.</p>
<p>
The western media, that represents only a one-sided view, does not really care about the fate of the Ukrainian people.</p>
<p>
I plan to go to the Ukraine to build my own opinion based on the accounts of those who couldn't flee or decided not to.</p>
<p>
I've been to the Ukraine twenty times in the last twenty years, to Donetsk for the first time in 1994, the last time two years ago.</p>
<p>
Therefore I believe, I know this country more than well.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Inspired by the possibilities that the development of new social multimedia tools allows, and by using the concepts I am skilled at as a veteraned photojournalist, I would like to engage in starting a photo- and video- blog, that will be titled « Arguments ». This blog will tell the stories of citizens like you and me how it is to live in a besieged town on a day to day basis.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The special point of this project is to involve 15 to 20-year-old people who have been hurt by the atrocities of last summer’s bombings.</p>
<p>
They will be guided to suggest topics, to use new tools (Camcorders, Cut Softwares...) as well as tools they already have (Smartphones).</p>
<p>
The goal is not to report on clashes between the two sides, also in order to keep participants of this project safe.</p>
<p>
This blog is supposed to become a portfolio of our work, the future of which will depend on raising awareness and support for future assignments. Initially planned for eight weeks, I hope the project will create enough public interest to become self-sufficient for an indefinite time.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
* The title will be submitted to the participants</p>
