Jabal Mohsen and Bab Al Tabbanah are two neighborhoods in the North of Lebanon
separated by one small street. The former is inhabited by Allawites, while the Sunnis
dominate the latter. Since the end of the Lebanese civil war in 1990, these two neighborhoo

existed peacefully until the first deadly clash took place in 2008. During that time, there
were also clashes in Beirut between the Future Movement (Sunnis) and Hezbollah (Shiites),

to put an end to this situation. This conflict affected everyone living in these areas, especially
kids. Many parents preferred to drop their kids out of schools to prevent any interaction with
the kids from the other

to start working after losing their parents. The main objective of
this project is to make sure that the kids, and after two years of different types of activ

This project is intended to educate a new generation in
order for it to embrace the differences existing in this area and to lat

reconciliatory or integrational project.
