The expression “Cheyef 7alak?” Was employed in two meanings, the first being “Showing off?” and the other one “Do you see yourself / Do you see what you’re doing?” Cheyef Halak is a CSR campaign which objective is to create awareness and influence behaviors for a social change. The 360" campaign puts forth the uncivilized conducts and gives the Lebanese citizens the power to report irresponsible and dangerous behaviors for a better Lebanon, one topic at a time.
