What do you see when you hear "Eurasia"?

Countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia have had a legacy of equality, job security and functioning safety nets. Outsiders perceive the region as largely developed with no major crises, and stories of every day struggles often go unreported.

In the 1990s, many countries in Eurasia experienced difficult transitions. Now, their advances are fraying at the edges. Ever growing youth unemployment. An HIV epidemic on the rise. Worsening inequalities.

Working on the ground across the region, we at UNDP come across dozens of untold stories. We recognize that part of making change has to do with telling these stories, amplifying unheard voices and engaging new audiences.

We created Voyages to plunge deep into the life and soul of Eurasia and take you on a journey of battles, occasional victories and constant resolve.

Voyages is a journal of stories from a changing Eurasia, produced by UNDP.

Our seventh issue, Power of connection, is live now.
