2015 LB007 Peace Beyond Fear

After ethnic and religious conflicts for decades, and being situated between Israel and Syria, Lebanon is still far from peace. The large amount of refugees has increased tensions among civilians, as many of these still live in camps, their numbers growing every day. This project helps parents, teachers and children to change the culture of violence in Lebanon. Through creative workshops and activities, children are empowered to become agents of change for their community. Peace Youth Clubs with members from different backgrounds raise public awareness about peace, as they learn about life skills, communication and connecting to other people through theatre and art.
