Nasreen and Rayna are both from Akkar, Lebanon. The two young women share a common drive to foster solidarity between refugees and local communities. Through the FURSA project, funded by the EU Regional Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian Crisis, they both undertook trainings on social leadership.
Just like many other involved in this beautiful project, Nasreen and Rayna believe that social cohesion and dialogue are best channeled through arts and media.
