Our name comes from the ancient Hittite word
anniyā عَنِيَّة —“to act, create, make grow” —
reflecting our commitment to transformation through collective care and action.- Anniya is an informal, non-profit collective founded by designers and educators who see education and creativity as essential tools for resilience, recovery, and cultural preservation.
The collective was founded by Walid Mawed, Tania Biancalani, and Oriana Ferraguzzi. Walid Mawed, a Palestinian designer and creative director, focuses on social and environmental fragility. Tania Biancalani, a linguist, educator, and project manager, works in intercultural education. Oriana Ferraguzzi is an Italian language educator, translator, and designer of educational activities.
Our first project is: The School Bag Project
Our mission is to develop and prototype a new kind of school bag for children afflicted by conflict and natural disaster. A school bag that opens into a small study table so they can learn anywhere. Our first distribution will focus on refugees camps for children survivors coming from Gaza and the West Bank.
Our goal is to expand worldwide, wherever attaining an education is no longer a safe option.
