Between April 2018 and April 2019 Project Someone partnered with five NGOs in Lebanon to design and deliver a series of workshops. The workshops focussed primarily on critical digital literacy and social pedagogy in an aim to build capacity and empower Lebanese communities. 

The partner organisations work with different minority groups including special needs individuals (Youth Association of the Blind and the Inclusion Network), women (Collective for Research and Training Development Action), Syrian refugees (Basmeh and Zeitooneh), Palestinian refugees (Majed Abu Sharar Media Foundation), and youth in K—12 settings as represented by Heritage College

After a rigorous needs assessment, the heads of the partner organizations, co-developers, and co-facilitators from the fabric of the Lebanese community worked together in the development, implementation, and the contextualization of the workshop materials. This strategy ensured that the voices of the minorities were heard through local case studies and storytelling that participants would be able to relate to easily. The pedagogical materials were modified from existing Project Someone resources, from the From Hate to Hope MOOC, and some created from new.

There were 4 types of workshops, 16 in total, held locally in Lebanon.
