***
The Tripoli Photo Marathon is part of the Participatory Municipalities program, being implemented in cities across Lebanon.
Lebanese municipalities are often disconnected from citizens and there are few opportunities for open public participation in decision-making processes. FRAME and NAHNOO have partnered on the Participatory Municipalities project in order to create networks and channels for innovative and proactive dialogue and collaboration between citizens and elected municipal leaders in Tripoli.  For more information on Participatory Municipalities, check out the Facebook page.

                    Stephen Gerard Kelly is a photographer, videographer and photojournalist pioneering the shared space between Documentary, Conflict Research and Humanitarianism.  Having worked in over 50 countries, Stephen's ethos is rooted in powerful photography and videography around social justice and human rights issues facing under-represented, misunderstood and marginalized groups.  Through compassionately observing, meticulously researching and thoroughly understanding people, context and motivations, Stephen deepens our understanding of socioeconomic, environmental and political issues facing vulnerable individuals and communities on the fringes of an increasingly globalized world.

                    Stephen's photography has been published in the Guardian, the New York Daily News, the Daily Telegraph, the Irish Evening Herald, the Irish Independent, the Courier Mail, the Advertiser, Polaris Images and ZUMA Press, now the world's largest independent press agency and wire service.
