À lire : Art with Syrian Refugees : The Za’atari Project

As the Syrian War rages on, desperate civilians continue to pour across the borders into neighboring countries. Since it opened a few years ago, the Za’atari Camp in northern Jordan has quickly become the world’s second-largest refugee camp with approximately 100,000 residents. While they have escaped the death and destruction of war, these refugees now find themselves in a colorless desert wasteland that contrasts dramatically with their lush, green native region of Daraa, Syria. With practically no plant or animal life and endless rows of beige tents and caravans, Za’atari is a harsh land of dust storms, heat and blindingly bright sunlight. Lives are on hold and official work is prohibited. Fortunately, Syrians have been greeted by international humanitarian organizations that provide food, shelter, medical care and other basic services. But what about education, jobs, activities for youth, poverty and mental health issues? There are many complex questions that do not have easy answers.
