General Information

In 2013, Lebanese Spotlight started as a community service project in public schools, as the founder of Lebanese Spotlight “Ali Omar Ali” is a Theater teacher there. Its primary focus was to empower students to become active community members. Over the years, this initiative thrived until 2016. This empowerment of the youth helped them take charge of creating a youth-led NGO in 2017. However, the turning point for Lebanese Spotlight came with the devastating blast that hit Beirut on August 4th of 2020. The explosion, which caused widespread destruction and loss of lives, led to a rush in the organization's activities. The youth involved with Lebanese Spotlight took a more active role on the ground, working tirelessly to provide aid and support to the affected communities. The youth not only showed resilience but also demonstrated the power of collective action and the potential of community-driven initiatives. The organization's growth and impact after the blast were an indication that such community service projects can have tremendous effects on inspiring young minds to become proactive changemakers in their society. With over 350 volunteers between the ages of 15 to 25, Lebanese Spotlight seems to have a significant and dedicated group of young individuals. The initiative's focus on building small communities is essential for fostering a sense of belonging and support among individuals, promoting cooperation and mutual aid. The commitment to protect children, guide youth, and engage families shows a holistic approach to addressing the needs of different age groups within society. This approach allows for a more comprehensive impact and ensures that all members of the community are involved in the organization's activities promoting social cohesion. By aligning its efforts with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030, Lebanese Spotlight demonstrates a forward-thinking approach and a commitment to tackling significant global challenges. Prioritizing areas such as education, poverty alleviation, environmental sustainability, and fostering partnerships aligns the organization's objectives with broader global efforts for positive change. Lebanese Spotlight's success is a testament to the importance of empowering youth and providing them with opportunities to make a difference in their communities. By learning from their experiences and embracing their leadership roles, these young individuals continue to be a beacon of hope and positive change for Lebanon's future.

Mission and Objectives

In the near future, Lebanese Spotlight envisions a society where the youth stand at the forefront of positive transformation. Our vision includes vibrant communities of empowered individuals, armed with futuristic skills and a strong sense of purpose, who collaboratively address local and global challenges. Through innovative programs, partnerships, and projects, LSL aims to nurture a generation that not only envisions change but also leads the way toward a brighter, more sustainable future. Mission: • Ensure a positive change in our society • Equip youth with futuristic skills to adapt to the technological changes around them • Build a curriculum where it helps students in creating their own paths and discover their career opportunities • Create a space for self-discovery for youth whilst sharing experiences and meeting new people • Set up sustainable projects that support the Go Green movement (Eco-Friendly) • Implement entrepreneurship skill-upgrading programs • Empower and support youth to achieve their goals

Main Projects / Activities

The Lebanese Light Spot (LSL) Association was established in 2017 under the supervision of initiative number 1166. LSL is a youth initiative working on integrating community service in official secondary schools, private schools, and universities. It quickly evolved to become a gathering community with over 350 young men and women. The association aims to empower youth while building an inclusive community and fostering their initiatives. By promoting their leadership, communication, and innovation skills, while discouraging engagement in risky behaviors and leveraging their sense of citizenship. Our activities vary from managing community parks in Beirut through volunteering and raising awareness about human rights, conducting life skills workshops, and providing assistance to youth in accessing universities and specialized fields. LSL’s youth activated the “Mayel“ project to support the elderly at Mar Mikhael; an awareness program tackling sports, drugs, and professions. They created a development assistance call for underprivileged youth, an annual skills camp as well as environmental responsibility programs. We collaborated with World Vision on the Road to Peace project, with Dot Lebanon on digital education, and with Refuse on Ecosystem Restoration Programs, a 40-day environmental work program for 40 young men and women.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

OUT OF THE BOX inaugurated a new art residency program in Athens in 2020. The primary mission of the residency program is to highlight contemporary art voices through the participation of artists, dancers, architects, filmmakers, poets, authors, publishers, university presses, cultural organizations and literary and artistic figures. In this context, the “Library Residency” at Panepistimiou street, in the center of Athens, has partnered with the London publishing house, Eris Art & Eris Press.

This partnership promotes collaborations and exchanges between Greek, European, Global and American artists that could contribute in the most impactful way to the Anna Lind network and residency program in Greece since the organization is one of the first to have focused on cultural diplomacy and is awarded and under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Culture.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

OUT OF THE BOX’s programming focuses on the development of research with an emphasis on cultural diplomacy and the extroversion of Greek culture. Joining the ALF Network will provide the proper international institutional context to promote the activities of the organization that have been initially launched with a positive outcome.

The Greek Ministry of Culture already supports the initiative, however, joining an international institution at the forefront of these cultural initiatives like Ann Lind, will help promote the project in more advanced ways.

You can find more information about the residency below:

The “Library Residency” is the organization’s new initiative that fosters a dialogue between American and Greek writers and artists drawing from the interfaces between artistic creation and books. Guest writers, visual artists, filmmakers and musicians are invited to interact with, and be inspired by a book from the “Library Residency collection” to create a new concept, sketch, art project, poem, or composition based on a book.

The “Library Residency” at Panepistimiou street is “GREECE IN USA”‘s new art residency that promotes exchanges between Greek and American writers and artists and will host artist Udi Aloni in June in partnership with the Greek Film Archive.
