Independence
We are politically and religiously independent. Our work is guided by our mission and values.
Connected by roots.
United by possibility.
We bring people, skills and resources together to build a better Lebanon: a country that is free, equal, secular and sustainable.
OUR ROOTS. OUR SHARED FUTURE.From solidarity
to shared action.
Our story began with the Lebanese protest movement of October 2019 and solidarity gatherings in Norway. Lebanese and Norwegian activists, together with members of the diaspora, came together around a belief that skills and resources could be united for a better Lebanon.
ACTIVE LEBANON was founded on 5 August 2020. Our original mission called for people to turn ideas into initiatives and support the Lebanese community in a free, equal, secular and sustainable country.
We are a Norway-based nonprofit, politically and religiously independent, bringing together people of varied backgrounds and cultures.
