In early May, a group of 30 young students from Malta, Syria, and Norway met in Steinkjer, Norway, for a week using art, theatre, and music to share their cultures and understand their related similarities.

This program was set up to bring together different groups of young people from different backgrounds, providing them with an opportunity to meet, discuss and confront various themes, while learning about each other's countries and cultures.

The ten young participants from Syria were selected from Al-Wataniah School and Hussam Breemo’s carol group, and were headed by Ola Saif, head of visa services and cultural exchange at the Norwegian Embassy.

The mixed groups worked for a week to prepare their final presentation, utilizing art, music, and food for a more in-depth cultural experience.
