Kitabna

Overview

Kitabna is a publishing initiative which builds on local storytelling practices and creative peacebuilding to develop safe spaces with communities affected by war. This has manifested in several ways: as multilingual illustrated children’s books, story-writing workshops, co-created stories and the development of psychosocial educational tools with INGOs, schools and civil society actors..

Kitabna aims to encourage reading and writing skills in both Arabic and a secondary language through the creation of multilingual children's books, to stimulate imagination and encourage children to help each other create and learn, to develop children's creative abilities by encouraging them to write their own stories and to set warm and fun stories in refugee camps, creating pride and dignity in an environment which is home for these children and will be until the sectarian violence ends in their home country.
