In addition to the double dimension of her from world symbol of human rights and, at the same time, as a simple student with a long journey ahead of her: “My family and I were struggling to get used to the changes. We were trying to get used to the time and we were just trying to learn more about the culture and feel at home – he tells during the episode – but at the same time, I was traveling around the world and projecting a public image of me and my activism. And then I’d go back to school and reveal myself as a quiet, straight-faced girl. So, there was a Malala standing on a stage, very confident, sharing her story. And then there was another Malala: the one in class, very nervous, shy, who she couldn’t say a single word “.
The intervention develops in a series of very significant testimonies of her travels and dilemmas faced during the encounters (and clashes) with different cultures and sensibilities, all interspersed with some musical pieces such as “Dangerous Woman” by Ariana Grande or “O mundo é um moinho” by Beth Carvalho. “This walk really means a lot to me because, looking at the mountains and the ocean in front of me, I think of my home. I am thinking of the Swat Valley. I miss those mountains. I miss those rivers. I miss those trees. And I miss all the moments I spent there with my friends and family ”.
