Past R&D activities on the Lebanon project

Abstract

This anthology introduces and describes the Lebanon project1, a development project which has been running for more than a decade. Annual reports have been produced detailing the activities and actions that have been carried out. In addition to the work taking place locally in Lebanon, it has also been the intention to involve and inspire various types of research and development activities in connection with the project. This chapter presents research that has been carried out on the Lebanon project. I have chosen to include research that has been disseminated in written form. Various presentations have also been given, and teaching materials in the form of song arrangements and repertoire have been produced along with CDs containing relevant teaching materials, created and recorded for use on the Lebanon project. This represents an invaluable collection that those involved in the project can use in their work. Some of the reports and books published by the FORUM for Culture and International Cooperation foundation also contain descriptions of teaching content and ideas. At the end of the chapter is a complete list of publications, presentations, teaching materials and student papers resulting from the Lebanon project.
