DA-RE Virtual Exhibition - Turkey
A collection of digital stories told by
Syrian refugee artists in Turkey
The DA-RE (Digital Arts - Refugee Engagement) research project is using arts-based activities in conjunction with digital literacy to help develop the skills and capabilities of refugee youth in Turkey and Bangladesh.
They have been supported in using digital tools to share their stories and lived experiences, giving them the opportunity to access training and education but also develop their own creative output and digital literacy.
Here are their stories...
