They investigated their process, skills, and made works that could pass on the stories that were shared and could reflect on the complex reality of the camp. Alongside our existing collection of products these items will be internationally exhibited and sold, to address the situation of the refugees. We aim for a continuing relationship through more future orders. Additionally with this workshop we want to reflect upon the function of creative practices in situations of conflict because, as Amman Design Week also states in their program line, _“problem-solving, enhancing communities and bringing concepts to life; design has the power to reshape the future”._
