The Last Line by Aku Ratsula and Conor Courtney<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Peter Dragsb\u00e6k is always by the sea. He is one of the last fishermen in surfing-obsessed Klitm\u00f8ller, a small town on the northwest coast of Denmark. Dragsb\u00e6k\u2019s love for the sea permeates his life. When asked about what fishing means to him, he often leans back and wistfully says, \u201cI can\u2019t describe it.\u201d Klitm\u00f8ller has been a fishing town for generations, but when windsurfers started moving to the town in the mid-1980s, its identity began to change. Now, the population has nearly doubled, while only a handful of fishermen have remained. Dragsb\u00e6k welcomes the influx of visitors and respects the surfers\u2019 love of the sea, but recognizes that he may be one of the last to cast off from the beach that\u2019s now packed with surfers.

Where the Sun Hits First by Rune \u00d8e<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not more than 70 years ago that the first houses were built for the locals, and since then the village Tasiilaq, Greenland has developed rapidly. East Greenland is characterized by many social problems and has one of the highest suicide rates in the world.

I’m Letting it Grow by Rikke Kj\u00e6r Poulsen and Liv M\u00f8ller Kastrup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The hair growing on our bodies is under close and continuous scrutiny. It must be shaved off, then it must grow wild and free, suddenly it’s no longer natural, but unhygienic and for some<\/em> it has become a political statement against various rules and ways of society. What was first their natural choice of appearance changed into actively choosing to let their body hair grow for Mathilde, Laura, Mathias and Anna. It demands a certain level of courage to show it and become a target of the both positive and negative reactions of others. But isn\u2019t hair just hair? \u00bbI got anxious that night\u2026 I admit it. But then I thought fuck it and turned off my phone in defiance. Some stranger doesn\u2019t get to tell me I\u2019m wrong,\u00ab says Mathilde Sara Aramoon (right). A photograph of her with hair under her arms had been shared without her consent in a Facebook group for the members to vote whether she was hot or not.

Many of the Ukrainian refugees do not know where to go once they reach Poland. Schools, sports arenas and train stations in all major cities they\u2019ve been turned into temporary dormitories where the many refugees can stay if they don\u2019t have a plan. In Krakow, a mother and her two children have been placed in an old train hall, with around fifty other families.
