About the campaign
Our vision and goal
Syria is not one picture… it is many faces. Not one voice… but stories told every day. We are here to gather these stories, so each of us can see ourselves in the faces of others.
This campaign is a national media initiative that works for civil peace and helps root its values in public awareness. It shares human stories that show what Syrians have in common, and presents our shared identity as a place to meet, not to divide. The campaign supports a culture of living together and the values of mutual respect, justice and belonging. It uses modern media built on storytelling and community connection, to help build a more united and stable society.
One story… told in Syrian voices
From millions of Syrians around the world to the details of life in every governorate… one story takes shape. It is full of human experiences that cannot be counted, and every one of them deserves to be told and heard.
