Nawwer Darbon

Nawwer Darbon is a youth-led initiative which started in 2014 helping Tripoli high-school students and children dropouts enroll at schools through a celebration of flying lanterns in Fitr and Adha Eids. In its 7th edition, Global Shapers – Tripoli Hub and Junior Shapers will allocate the money raised from the lantern sales as tuition fees or fund intensive make-up courses to Tripoli youth and children.

The new artisans

The initiative aims at revitalizing Tripoli handicrafts which are threatened of extinction through a series of ateliers organized by the Junior Shapers and the high-school students benefitting from the JSSP. The first two ateliers took place. One is for sewing basics and designs; the second is for traditional soap making. The final products were handmade burlap and colorful tissue designed with tiny soap shapes used to decorate small pillows and wallets. The youth are currently drafting a sustainability plan through more workshops, online platform and crowdfunding.
