Norwegian teens play refugees for 24 hours

In a dark snowy forest, two military vehicles thunder by, the wailing sirens waking those who have just dozed off. Exhausted, they must quickly pack up camp and resume their night march.

This is not a scene playing in the Balkans but in Norway, one of the richest countries in the world, where a group of teenagers are spending 24 hours on the road, living as refugees.

In a country where teens often walk around with luxury handbags and the latest smartphones, the aim is to raise awareness and give youngsters some insight into the lives of millions of people much less privileged than themselves.
