'BEL JEMLEH'
The issue tackled in my senior project focuses on the lack of or decline in the knowledge pertaining to the Lebanese heritage among Lebanon’s youth.
As the Middle East is gradually developing and adopting westernised lifestyle, it is also gradually losing its essence and heritage. Unfortunately, new generations are not acquainted and knowledgeable about their own heritage. Each country in the Middle East has its own rich and beautiful culture that makes nationals proud. Heritage is important because it brings one closer to his/her country and community; it tells one about the country beautiful history. One cannot deny this fact because it is part of our roots and entity. Therefore, I have created and designed an atypical idea of a board game based on Lebanese proverbs. It is a fun interactive game designed to bring people closer, keeps ideas flowing and creativity in action; all using storytelling of Lebanese proverbs. It’s a board game for both, old and new generations. Each round is different and more creative than the other.
