LEBANON

In Lebanon and Iraq, under the Initiative Ideas Box program, we deploy reassuring spaces of learning, dialogue, and support in Lebanon and Iraq, in order to reinforce access to education, psychosocial support, and the autonomy of vulnerable populations.   

In Lebanon, in the Amel centers located just south of Beirut, in the Beqaa and in Saida, these spaces favor inclusion and the wellbeing of youth and women, amongst the refugee and host populations. 

In Iraq, in Mosul and in Sinjar, Ideas Boxes are installed in varied and sensitive environments – namely a center for Yazidi women who are victims of violence, a community center, and a juvenile detention center which welcomes young boys who have been affiliated with Daesh. These measures allow for access to education, psychosocial support, and activities which develop capabilities in a context strained by insecurity and political tension. 

In 2026, the Initiative Ideas Box program will be developed in Palestine, in support of displaced persons.
