They are called Yvan, Munazza, Racky, Marta or Samba.

They are high school students, students, or start their professional life.

At 18, 20 or 25, they live in Senegal, Kenya, Canada, India or Spain.

This youth of the world that we have baptized Generation Covid, so marked by the consequences of the pandemic, has a lot to express.

On the occasion of a special day, RFI gives them the floor thanks to the work of our correspondents who went to collect their testimonies.
