We discuss citizenship building, civic engagement and the wider role of youth empowerment and education.

Our conversation includes the power of collective memory in reclaiming history and addressing national wounds within venues like Beit Beirut, ranging from the civil war to all forms of political violence.

We also talk about the 'Allo, Beirut?' exhibition currently underway in Beit Beirut.
