Here, following a workshop led by the Syrian photographer Mahmoud Faisal, the students undertook the same exercise as their peers in Greece: they tried to tell the story of the world in which they live, through the lens of cameras specifically supplied for this purpose. The project was coordinated by Nicoletta Novara, creator of the exhibition, and the news was reported by Pressenza.
