***
The Tyre Photo Marathon is part of the Participatory Municipalities program, being implemented in cities across Lebanon. Lebanese municipalities are often disconnected from citizens and there are few opportunities for open public participation in decision-making processes. FRAME and NAHNOO have partnered on the Participatory Municipalities project in order to create networks and channels for innovative and proactive dialogue and collaboration between citizens and elected municipal leaders in Tripoli.  For more information on Participatory Municipalities, check out the Facebook page.
