Houchygama’ana Alexandria is the 3rd version of the project aiming to redesign the underutilized schoolyards of five refugee-hosting governmental schools in Alexandria, Egypt through a series of participatory Co-design workshops with the students, teaching staff and school ad-ministration. The project redefines Egyptian schoolyards as a stimulating multi-use open space suitable as not only a recreational en-vironment but also as an outdoor learning environment which contributes in shaping the characters of future generation.
