Telling Stories of Peace 

The project involved 11 participants from both refugee and host communities. They conducted two trainings – one on peacebuilding and another on video production.

Across 6 days of training, young people were given the tools and knowledge they needed to use video as a medium for conflict reduction and prevention.

Using their newly-developed skills in mobile journalism, storytelling and video production, the participants divided into groups to produce 3 videos which tell the stories of Syrian refugees living, working and thriving in Majdal Anjar: a peanut-roasting entrepreneur, a gastronomist who specialises in Syrian and Yemeni cuisine and a headmaster of a night school for Syrian refugees.

The team also produced 4 posters to promote their project, which can be found on their Facebook page.
