This project targeted both adults and children in Burj Al Barajneh camp, and was in partnership with Light House Cohort and the International Association for Human Values and in coordination with “Bet Atfal Assumoud”.

Its purpose was to help Syrian and Palestinian women, teachers and children become better at dealing with stress, more capable of overcoming trauma, more engaged with building their own self-esteem and able to resolve conflict without resorting to violence.

This was done through the “Art Excel” program, centered on teaching dealing with stress through play, breathing techniques, the acceptance of the self and the other, and constructive thinking.
