Damascus, Syria – December 24, 2020

As part of the event “Reviving Heritage from Ancestors to Descendants,” held on December 23, 2020, at the Sheraton Damascus Hotel, this initiative reaffirms Artizana Syria’s commitment to connecting younger generations with their cultural and human heritage, while promoting values of giving and social solidarity among children.

A special handicraft workshop was organized for children with special needs, during which they were introduced to traditional Syrian handicrafts and participated in creating small handmade items.

The importance of the workshop was not limited to its educational and creative aspects; it also extended to a profound humanitarian dimension. These handmade items were donated to the Children’s Hospital for cancer patients, conveying a message of love and hope that reflects the solidarity of the participating children with their peers and reinforces the values of community engagement and humanitarian responsibility from an early age.

Through this initiative, Artizana Syria seeks to instill values of compassion and belonging, and to emphasize that handicrafts are not merely a cultural heritage, but also a means of human connection and a way to spread joy and hope in the hearts of others.
