Răzvan Nedu is almost blind, but even with only 1% visual acuity, he is an experienced climber. Romania's first Paralympic climbing world vice-champion, he is a role model for disabled people in his country.

It was thanks to the two observatories he helped to build that Moldova was able to launch its first satellite into space.

Where is Home? Romania and Bulgaria

Stay or leave? Dora, Emanuel and Andreea deal with this question in different ways.

In 2018, ARTE visited the island of La Gomera in the Canaries, to meet people who have dropped out of society and live an unconventional life in caves by the sea. Returning to the paradise island in 2022, COVID has reshuffled the deck and reinforced this yearning for simplicity and freedom.

Sven Philipp and Martin Rheinländer run workshops called  “Strengthening Masculinity” to teach men about women, flirting and sex. But critics like Christoph May and Susanne Kaiser warn against these types of workshops, which they say promote toxic male values and old-fashioned ideas. Christoph became so bored and annoyed by his male-dominated environment that he now avoids all-male groups as much as possible. As a researcher, he often gives public lectures, urging men to rethink critically their role in society.

Cleaning up the carcinogenic fibre from our ageing buildings is a colossal task and it is still being produced and sold in many countries worldwide. Unscrupulous companies turn a profit whilst people die from exposure to the harmful substance. Will we ever be rid of asbestos?
