The Playkit is born

As our reputation grew, we were invited into schools to explore how our participatory theatre techniques could be adapted to the classroom. This led to the creation of the Seenaryo Playkit, a training and resource that equips early years teachers to bring their curriculum to life through play. It marked a major evolution in our work. Meanwhile, we launched Aswat Seenaryo, a network of community choirs, began our first theatre project with women, and expanded beyond refugee communities to work with a wider range of under-served groups across Lebanon.
