"For them, Mobile Storytelling really makes a difference." Sara Hteit is training young refugees in Lebanese camps in how to tell their story with their smartphone. Her trainings are funded by Deutsche Welle Academy, and some of her trainees even ended up working as journalists for media outlets in Lebanon. "We´re not only giving them a voice, we´re giving them hope, a purpose for what to do in live," she tells us in the third episode of our podcast. Her target group don´t own fancy iPhone models: "Mobile Journalism" in refugee camps means filming with an old Android phone, often without any accessories. With Covid-19, the situation has worsened: "Right now, our trainees in the camps are really struggling." Their smartphones become means of telling lockdown stories - and Sara herself can only be in touch via WhatsApp or video call as Lebanon has introduced strong Corona rules as well.
