With the outbreak of war in Lebanon, thousands of civilians were forced to abandon their homes and lives, seeking refuge in safest area.

Schools, places of learning, were transformed into emergency shelters for those fleeing the conflict.
Desks became dining tables, and beds were set up beneath blackboards in a context that completely disrupted educational paths.

The war not only destroyed homes and infrastructure but also severely damaged Lebanon’s already fragile educational system.

Yet amidst the ruins is a symbol of hope: the backpack.
