Kultūrinių-pilietinių ryšių tarp Lietuvos ir Vakarų Sacharos kūrimas

Summary of Action

The aim of the project is to familiarize the youth of Lithuanian cities and regions with the situation of Sahrawis living in refugee camps on the territory of Algeria, and to refute the false stereotypes about asylum seekers as well as the role and rights of Muslim women in society.

In the first phase of the project, during the visit to the Sahrawi refugee camps, we will use the tools of artistic and documentary photography, video footage and text stories to collect material for educational events and art exhibitions.

In the second stage of the project, we will present the results during educational events and exhibitions in Lithuanian cities and regions. The participants of the events will have the opportunity not only to get acquainted with the results of the artistic project and to hear the stories of our photographer, but also during the meetings they will get to know the representatives of the Sahrawi civil society and participate in joint discussions.

The project material will also be available on our website, where we will also offer different inclusion actions for young people. We hope that after getting to know the history of Sahrawis, the youth of Lithuania will not only better understand the problems of asylum seekers and migration, but also become more actively involved in the integration of these citizens in Lithuania.
