'Books without Borders' is an intervention that aims to support and ensure access to education and psychosocial support for the most vulnerable youth populations in the area of north-eastern Syria and the city of Raqqa, which is still severely affected by the war.
Through the creation of small, interactive 'travelling libraries', designed and built specifically for the Syrian context by the French organisation Bibliothèques Sans Frontières, the project leader, and thanks to the collaboration with the local partner DOZ, Un Ponte Per aims to reach 6,000 children aged between 6 and 17 in the city of Raqqa and displaced elsewhere, and in the Protection Centres for Women and Minors that UPP has built in the area.
In addition to them, 50 educational professionals will be trained in the use and implementation of travelling libraries.
