The Crossing Lines team in Lebanon uses slacklining as a psycho-social support activity for Syrian refugee youth. Through slacklining, we teach social skills like patience and conflict resolution, and help these kids gain self-esteem, confidence, and an ability to focus. These skills are crucial to healthy childhood development, and without school and organized play, hundreds of thousands of refugee youth are struggling.

“When you put them on a line, when you make them a group, and teach them to share, you support them to be one hand. Every student has to know that. It’s very important in our society to share, to make groups, to be one hand. And that’s what you did.”

Most refugee youth are behind in their education. Slacklining helps students develop confidence and train concentration & focus, enhancing their academic performance.

Many of the children and young adults we work with have experienced trauma, and have lived in fear & poverty. Slacklining and other structured play offers a medium for behavioral intervention and stress relief.

The refugee crisis has put a significant strain on communities around the world, and connecting outside of a cultural group can be difficult. Slacklining and other structured play can help connect people.

We create media to give people a personal connection with the refugee crisis and immigration issues by sharing stories of the people we work with and sharing our own experiences.
