Story

Across 10 days we visited 3 refugee camps in the region that were home to tens of thousands of Iraqis and Syrians, many of whom have suffered significantly at the hands of ISIS.

Many of the teenagers in the camp seemed to have very little to do and boredom was really apparent. This makes young people extremely vulnerable and open to influences that could lead them to make damaging life decisions.

We also saw the power that art has as a form of therapy. Migrate Art ran a number of art classes in the camps, and many of the participants chose to draw scenes from their lives that hint towards the extreme violence they have witnessed.

This is why we are fundraising to buy the materials to start regular art classes for the young boys and girls in the camps
