🚂 Every stain, crack & layer of paint in Beirut's Mar Mikhael Train Station tells part of Lebanon's railway history.

Funded by Italy through @coopita_beirut & implemented by @UNESCO and @UNHABITAT, this recovery effort — led in part by skilled women conservators — is transforming the station into an Industrial Heritage Park.

This is more than restoration — it is recovery of a shared cultural landmark and the revival of collective memory, built #ForThePeople.

As #UNGA gets underway, one question is central to the global conversation on #AI: who gets to shape its future?

Together with @ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin, we make the case for AI that people and countries can trust, understand and help shape.

Innovation must go hand in hand with human rights, inclusion, skills and meaningful participation.

One night, Fatima evacuated her home because of false information circulating in her community.

Today, she is turning that experience into action.💪🏽

#Beirut - At the Mar Mikhael railway station, the tracks re-emerge like traces of memory.
After over fifty years of silence, their iron line returns to light. The intervention, funded by #ItalianCooperation through #AICS Beirut and implemented by @UNESCOBEIRUT and @UNHabitatLB in collaboration with the Lebanese General Directorate of Antiquities, carries forward the conservative restoration of over 10,000 m² of industrial historical heritage.
A project of urban archaeology and regeneration that provides for the consolidation of historic buildings, the safeguarding of railway vestiges, and the creation of a public park returned to the citizens.
Thus, the city wins back the lost rhythm of its time and a shared space for its future.

يروي كل أثر وكل شقّ وكل طبقة من الطلاء في أروقة محطة قطار مار مخايل التاريخية، فصلاً من حكاية السكك الحديدية في لبنان.

تمول الحكومة الإيطالية هذا المشروع، من خلال الوكالة الإيطالية للتعاون الإنمائي، وتنفذه اليونسكو وبرنامج الأمم المتحدة للمستوطنات البشرية، بمشاركة نخبة من المرممات الماهرات، وهو يسهم في إحياء المحطة وتحويلها إلى منتزه للتراث الصناعي.

لا تقتصر أهمية المشروع على الترميم، بل تمتد لتشمل إعادة تأهيل معلم ثقافي مشترك، وإحياء الذاكرة الجماعية، #من_أجل_الشعوب.

تتحدث رئيسة قسم التعليم في مكتب #اليونسكو الإقليمي في بيروت، ميسون شهاب، عن أثر النزاع على الأطفال، مشيرةً إلى أن توقف روتين المدرسة بسبب النزاع لا يؤثر على #تعلّم الطفل فحسب، بل يحرمه أيضاً من البيئة الآمنة التي توفرها المدرسة، وقد يسبب له اضطراباً ويخلق فجوة بينه وبين أقرانه.
