“Peace of Art” responded to Beirut'sexplosion with “We Rise through Art” or WRTA, a youth-led project supported by UNESCO Beirut as part of its flagship initiative Li Beirut. Launched in September 2021, the project has brought together young volunteers who have been organizing a series of psychosocial art infused workshops, targeting children in the area of Karantina, near the devastated Beirut port. Initially planned to last 7 months, the project was further extended for 2 months till the end of May 2021, supported by the financial contribution of the “Prayer for Beirut”, a group of Japanese artists who collected donations in Japan for the people of Beirut, in coordination with the National Federation of UNESCO Associations in Japan (NFUAJ). Through art, music, dance, sports, and drama, infused with psychosocial support follow-up, the weekend activities combined verbal and physical expression and were organized at a public park and a local indoor space, targeting a group of 40 children and young individuals between the ages of 7-16.

 

This handbook summarises activities, tips and tools for trainers to implement under programs with children and pre-adolescents using arts, sports, and recreational activities.
