Meeting this Syrian toymaker was nothing like I expected it to be || We Were Here
I’m so excited for you to meet my new friend Mohammad. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen, here’s more information on the project:
In support of World Refugee Day, We Were Here is an original documentary series from YouTube and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, that seeks to challenge stereotypes and perceptions about refugees by focussing on what unites us rather than sets us apart - our shared passions.
You can see the other episodes in the series here:
The Permaculturist - on the Gaz Oakley YouTube Channel -
The Musicians - on the Jax Jones YouTube Channel -
All episodes of the series are also featured on the YouTube playlist -
