As we become increasingly globalised, our understanding towards identity and nationality has changed dramatically. While attending the ‘Addressing Europe’s Unfinished Business’ conference, 8 young ambassadors spoke about how they felt about the mainstream understanding of Identity and how society expects them to usually introduce themselves. They were then asked to introduce themselves how they would like and felt most actually described them.
