This is one more proove for my theory that the best tool for the preserve and transfer of knowledge over a scratch are living human brains:
The Aleppo Project:
http://www.thealeppoproject.com/home-inn/"The Aleppo Project is an open collaboration among syrian refugees, students, academics, policy experts and others to come up with ideas on how to rebuild urban life after conflict.
The project is based in Budapest at the "Center for Conflict, Negotiation and Recovery" at the "Central European University"s School of Public Policy.
It brings together students from various schools and departments as well as professors and others.
We are working with syrian refugees and students in Lebanon and Turkey.
(...)
The Aleppo Project will produce a variety of reports on many issues about the past, present and possible futures of the city.
(...)
We need the help of all Aleppians who can use this site.
Each person who lived in the city has their own maps of Aleppo in their heads.
(...)
Maps.(...) Now they are a tool for real people to make decisions about their lives and homes.
By taking the time to put your ideas and images on our map, you can help preserve the past of Aleppo, document its present and start thinking about the future of one of the world´s oldest continually inhabited cities.
Please let others know about this project.
So we can work together to collect as many stories as possible about Aleppo!"
