Students will engage in research and storytelling workshops, exploring the narratives of Beirut and Sarajevo, and then collaboratively create visual storyboards reflecting cultural resilience and conflict, while engaging in peer dialogue to foster empathy and understanding.

Students will synthesize insights from their interactive timeline activity and group discussions to collaboratively define a clear and actionable problem statement that addresses how narrative forms reveal cultural resilience and conflict in both Sarajevo and Beirut.

Students will brainstorm and sketch potential multimedia presentation ideas that showcase contrasting narrative techniques from 'Fax from Sarajevo' and 'Anthony Bourdain in Beirut,' collaborating in small groups to explore creative, diverse ways of reflecting cultural resilience and conflict.

Students will construct multimedia presentations as testable prototypes showcasing their analysis of storytelling techniques and cultural resilience, using interactive feedback from peers during a gallery walk to enhance their projects.

Students will present their multimedia projects on cultural resilience and conflict, engaging peers and community members in discussions at the 'Empathy Café,' where they will receive feedback, share insights, and explore cultural themes with sensory experiences including food inspired by Sarajevo and Beirut.
