2016 LB012 Peace Puzzle Community Theatre to Curb Conflict

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. For this project, Zoukak Theatre Company implements War Childs Performing for Peace methodology to raise awareness in the community. By including children in life skills and educational training, they learn to create positive relationships and develop leadership skills. Meanwhile, parents and caregivers are trained in conflict resolution and non-violent communication. The lessons learned are compiled in a handbook that will be presented to the public.
