In the first episode of Stories Behind the Headlines podcast, part of an open series of articles created by Tala Nassif and Charbel Chaaya from the Asfari Institute for Civil Society and Citizenship, we feature Nijad Kalash, an AUB student and founder of Nez7in So What—an NGO dedicated to bringing joy and self-expression to displaced children in shelters through activities like painting, dancing, football, and educational games. We discuss what inspired Nijad and his friends to launch this initiative, the positive impact it has on children’s mental well-being, and the challenges they encounter along the way. Tune in to the podcast to learn about Nez7in So What‘s journey, the team’s dedication to creating hope, and how you can get involved in this meaningful mission.
