BBC Pop Up: We're going to Lebanon

BBC Pop Up is the BBC's mobile bureau. We are a team of BBC filmmakers who will be travelling to Beirut for four weeks to tell stories that you suggest.

We will be living and working in Lebanon for the month and we are asking what stories you want us to tell about the country?

All our films are made from your suggestions - and if you live in Beirut, you can even help us make them.

While we're in Lebanon, we will be making documentaries, holding community meetings and trying to get as involved in the community as possible. So, we invite you to come find us along the way and help us tell the stories.

If you are based in Lebanon, you can fill out this form to tell us about any stories you think we should cover. The alert goes straight to our phones. If you can't use the form you can also email: bbcpopup@bbc.co.uk.

If you are based outside of Lebanon, you can use this form. What would you like to know about the country?

You can also contact us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Our handle is @BBCPopUp.

There will be opportunities to come and meet us whilst we are in Lebanon. Just follow us on social media to see where we are and how you can get involved.

We want to challenge the way journalists typically find and report their stories.

We are crowd sourcing our story ideas from the people of the internet, from residents of the communities we visit and pretty much anywhere and everywhere we can. You tell us what stories you want told about your area, and we make documentaries about them.

When we first arrive in Beirut, we will hold a community meet-up and ask residents to hold a discussion about issues they feel are the most important in their neighbourhoods.

We have been to:

We are going to Lebanon next, but we are open to suggestions for our next destination after that. Is there somewhere you think we should go? Please use the forms above for any suggestions, we would love to hear from you.

On bbc.co.uk/popup you can watch all of the stories we have covered so far.

Nour is a producer on the team, based in Beirut, Lebanon. She works as a freelancer in the country making news programmes and documentaries.

His films have been screened at various festivals around the world including Cannes and LUND, and he has had work featured in TEN4 magazine.
