Project Summary

Massar is an NGO for non-formal youth education in Syria, which was developing a major science and discovery park for children in Damascus.  Our experts (pre-Lugarit) work with Massar on prototyping smaller exhibits and on the design and implementation of one prototype exhibit in the city of Homs.


The discovery centre in the city of Homs hosts a hands-on exhibition for children. The exhibit is about news; it helps kids to understand news making and how to make news themselves.  The display has a sequence of interactive computer zones each presenting a part of news making. By going through the zones, the visitors will go across the phases of news making and will put together their own news stories.


Our experts’ scope of work included:
