The Listening Project: Lebanon

Fi Glover introduces conversations recorded in Beirut, with the help of Oxfam, between refugees who have fled Syria to make a new life for themselves, in Lebanon or elsewhere.

Fi Glover introduces conversations recorded in Beirut, with the help of Oxfam, between refugees who have fled the war in Syria to make a new life for themselves, in Lebanon or elsewhere.

All the conversations except one were recorded in Arabic and have been translated into English, the words spoken by actors Sirine Saba, Paul Chahidi, Suzanna Nour, Mariam Haque, Nadia Albina, Farshid Rokey and Evie Killip. Conor Garrett, of 成人论坛 Radio Ulster, recorded the conversations which were sourced and facilitated by Oxfam in Beirut.

These conversations in another language, recorded outside the UK, are a new departure for The Listening Project, which is a partnership with the British Library to build up a collection of voices capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade of the millennium.
