Sharq is a non-profit organisation registered in the UK and Lebanon and working across the Arab World to promote and strengthen pluralism and independent thought through interventions in media development and production, oral history, community building and cultural practice.
We promote and facilitate the growth of pluralistic attitudes through four core activity pillars: oral history, collective action, creative communities, and knowledge sharing.
Being able to share their individual stories gives storytellers a sense of ownership and control and can be very empowering. It also promotes self-reflection and critical thinking.
