LOST is proud to announce the initiation of its “Education and Life
Skills Education for Syrian Refugees and Lebanese Adolescents” project.
The project, sponsored by UNICEF, is an innovation plan that will form
a huge impact on the lives of many youth this summer. It reaches out to
over 2510 youth in the area of Baalbeck - Hermel in a means designed to
renovate the gap between the Lebanese local community and the Syrian
refugees. The project is in its recruitment stage where the project
staff are witnessing an influx of eager recruits.
The project is a complex structure that starts with training 620
Syrian youth on basic Life Skills in Informal settlements (IS).Next step
is setting 12 youth clubs in Secondary Public Schools located in
Baalbeck, Ein, Bednayel and Hermel and training of 240 Lebanese
adolescents aged 14-18 for 3 months on conflict management, conflict
transformation, and Peace education. After that, LOST will organize 10
summer camps in 10 major IS/Villages/centers, engaging 650 new young
Syrian refugees and young Lebanese community members aged 14 to 18 in
community needs assessment and campaigning in collaboration with
Lebanese youth club members thus developing a well-defined mechanism of
social cohesion. The assembled youth in the summer camps will be engaged
in implementing 10 youth-led initiatives in the targeted areas in
addition to involving around 2000 participants from the Syrian and
Lebanese communities in Baalbeck-Hermel region in the organization of a
“Run All Together for Peace” Race in Baalbeck in collaboration with
youth club members and Syrian trainees from the program. Another segment
of the project is promoting the access of minimum 1000 out-of-school
Syrian refugees aged 10 to 18 years to non-formal education (Basic
Numeracy and Literacy) and life skills education in targeted ISs/public
locations. The project directs at creating a safe cohesive learning
environment where coexistence and peace are the base, and education is
the key.
