Digital Creativity Workshop 

Digital Creativity Workshop 

       Given that the continuous and repetitive economic and security crisis in Lebanon, coupled with weaken government institutions has led not only to high unemployement rates but its also deepened the gap between the different segments of societies who given the absence of inclusive and accessible spaces are even more isolated both psychially and culturally which often leads youth to adopt negative and violent behavior, namely within young men groups from the same backgrounds.
