Bringing Lebanon’s #LostGeneration of refugees to EDD19

We are happy to announce SB OverSeas’ stand at the Global Village during the European Development Days #edd19

Join us at stand no.76 “Bridging the gap for the lost generation,” – Addressing the inequalities through education and empowerment.

This June 18 and 19, SB OverSeas will present our work on education through empowerment at the European Development Days. Our work to provide education to refugee children and youth will be highlighted at the EDD Global Village, where participants will interact with our community by sharing their messages on how to “Fill in the Gap” to prevent the lost generation.

Check out our stand site!

We will share these messages from Brussels to our community in Lebanon through our social media, using the official EDD hashtag & #lostgeneration. The children in our catch-up schools in Lebanon will share their messages with the EDD participants via video and pictures throughout the day.

In 2018, our programs have touched the lives of over 400 refugee youth in Belgium & a combined over 1,000 students in our three centres in Beirut, Saida and Arsal.
