2016 LB038 and LB039 Yallah Peace: Creating Peace among Children Part II

Lebanon has experienced a massive influx of refugees in recent years ‐ including more than one million arrivals from neighbouring Syria. This huge influx has put further pressure on both Lebanons infrastructure and the fragile economic and security situation of the country. This project aims to create peace within the communities among Lebanese children and Syrian refugee children, by engaging them into conflict resolution, teaching them life skills and creating changemakers who serve as an example for their peers. Through workshops and creative activities, the children learn to express themselves and get to know each other, thereby taking away any unfounded fears and showing their community how important peace is.
