The Syrian refugee ‘crisis’ or ‘problem’. We hear a lot about the plight of the refugees on the news, mostly in terms of numbers and stories of bombings, capsized boats, and discrimination. But what is actually happening to the psyche of the young boys and girls whose photos grip us as they go viral? This is where our last speaker comes in. 

Serene Dardari doesn’t believe in countries, selfies or sugar-free food. She handles communications and outreach for a Lebanese NGO called SAWA for development and Aid and is also working on her own start up, a media network called SHAMS. With a background in international affairs, business, and communication arts, she also plans to integrate her social work into her theater productions.
