Syrian Refugee Project in Lebanon and Balkans
We are developing a program of psychosocial support for Syrian refugees in Lebanon in partnership with Zakira, a Lebanese organization that uses photography to give refugees a means to represent their lives and hopes after fleeing Syria.

Working with partner theatre companies, we will follow the trail of refugees through four Balkan states, using theatre methods to provide a positive outlet to express and process traumatic experiences.
