August 2007: Arab Digital Expression Camps A three-week summer camp was organized in Cairo for 64 children coming from Gaza, the West Bank, and Egypt, in partnership with Give Gaza and with funding from Give Gaza, Team, ABB, and individual donors. Children were trained in Digital Sound and Music, Digital Filmmaking, Print Design and Digital Design, and attended numerous extra-curricular activities.  The running staff of 27 trainers from different Arab countries supervised the children's 3-week adventure into the world of digital expression. The children had two day-long recreational trips; one to the Giza Pyramids and Old Cairo and another to Alexandria where they went to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Qaytbay Citadel. They also went on specialized trips to Studio Misr, Media and Production City, the Smart Village and the Egyptian Museum for Contemporary Art. Several renowned artists visited the children during their stay, interacting with them and presenting their work. Those included photographers Randa Shaath and Thomas Hartwell, folk singer Donia Akl , Eskenderella Band, Dancer Tamer Fathi, among others. The children produced various films, animation, designs, logos, posters, musical compositions and paintings. To view the children's work, go to: www.arabdigitalexpression.net
