Azraq Refugee Camp: Visit Six
In November 2018, we returned to further develop our two primary lines of work.
We focussed on expanding ‘Hope Circles’ — guided conversations that connect isolated women in the camp — and our transformative ‘Mosaic Park’ artwork to contribute to a sense of togetherness.
During this most recent visit, Catherine introduced four new trauma release techniques to staff and refugees, encouraging them to teach each other, so they could spread these ideas throughout the camp.
Patricio formed a team of ‘Change Makers’ with volunteers, and collaborated with two Syrian artists working in the camp, Samir and Abu Abdallah. Together they developed a new technique to create sustainable ‘Azraq Mosaics’ on the ground. Their purpose is to visually enhance the long walks from village to village, creating focal points and positive change. Different groups will be engaged in the design process to increase inclusivity. Our ambition is to create over 100 mosaics and rename the zone Mosaic Park.
