Save the Children Sweden’s photo exhibition
Two Camps in One is a depiction of the daily changes,
challenges, and hopes of children from both Nahr al-Bared
and Baddawi refugee camps due to the conflict that took
place in May 2007.
The European Commission Humanitarian Aid
Department (ECHO) funded this project that promotes
empowering children and having their voices heard; which is
amongst Save the Children’s Sweden’s goals to improve
living conditions of children. This is achieved by the
exhibition that captures the essence of how these children
lived during strenuous circumstances through their
eyes/camera lenses.
Three groups of children between the ages of
7 and 15 were given cameras to document the drastic
transformation that had occurred in their lives. The
children named the exhibition Two Camps in One since the
large influx of displaced from Nahr al-Bared went to live in
Baddawi Camp which meant that the camp temporarily became
home to a population from two camps.
The first exhibition will take
place from June 22nd till 28th at Al Madina Theatre-Hamra-Beirut
and then will tour other locations inside Lebanon and around
the world. |
