What a great video. Jonas Strecke and Oskar Ong did an amazing job. I was actually invited to be a part of that trip but could not go.

Jordan plays host to one of largest refugee populations in the world. Despite over 60% of the country’s population being under 30, there is an immense lack of public spaces and free recreational outlets available.
7Hills’ skatepark provides a secure space for people from all walks of life, occupying a 650 m˛ area of downtown Amman, delivering skateboarding as a tool to defeat gender, racial, religious and cultural inequalities. 7Hills runs a number of skate classes, including girls only and refugee sessions, providing transportation services from nearby refugee camps and underserved areas of Amman to the skatepark. Every week, the classes see over 200 skaters from Jordan, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Palestine and Yemen come together to break down social, political and cultural barriers through skateboarding.<
