The British Council, Scottish Documentary Institute and Bidayyat for Audiovisual Arts announced the launch of Syrian Stories, a training program for emerging Syrian and Syrian-Palestinian filmmakers. The Syrian Stories programme seeks to support a new generation of documentary filmmakers who wish to create engaging films that reflect on and question their society. 

The workshop took place on March 2017  in Beirut to support 8 - 12 Syrian and Syrian-Palestinian emerging film-makers based in the local area to develop their skills, plan and realize their own creative projects and reach new local and international audiences through their work.
