ATHAR

Athar is a social program that provides a vibrant, nurturing, and inspiring space led by youth, where they design and implement initiatives within a learning journey grounded in participation and hands-on experience. We operate with a horizontal vision that seeks to connect Syrian communities inside the country and in the diaspora by strengthening collective action and knowledge exchange. “Athar” works in complex environments but sees every challenge as an opportunity for learning and growth. It bets on the collective energy of youth and their ability to create real and sustainable change when given the right tools and space.
