Qamh (Wheat) is a team of citizen journalists in which "every individual adds to the whole, as grains make a wheat stalk." They all share the dream of seeing a free, colorful, brighter Syria.

Unlike many other groups, Qamh doesn't describe itself as linked to the revolution, but to Syrian society. In the team's own words, "Change stems from society, and not from replacing political and military authorities with other political and military authorities. Revolutions must end eventually, but societies live on."

The team focuses on spreading awareness through the production of radio programs and animated videos, in addition to artistic leaflets and posters. While they remain committed to the values ​​of democracy, civil rights and support of freedom for all Syrians, their campaigns and activities adjust to the changing needs on the ground.

In order to maintain its independence, the group relies on the voluntary efforts of its members and is self-funded.

Among their campaigns, “A revolution without riffles” stands out with a series of podcasts aired on 1+1 Radio in 2012. The first episode, titled "Why nonviolence?" focused on explaining civil disobedience and nonviolence strategies. The activists provided a definition of peaceful resistance and presented the experiences undergone by nonviolent activists, in addition to experiences in other countries, where nonviolence defeated tanks and heavy weapons. During the period the podcasts were broadcasted, several outstanding nonviolent activities filled the Syrian streets. Damascus fountains were dyed red, symbolizing the blood of martyrs, balloons with the word “freedom” written on them were launched into the skies, and the voice of Ibrahim Qashoush took regime security forces by surprise, when amplifiers shook nine of Damascus’ major areas, in honor of the singer from Hama killed by the regime.

In another episode titled “I’m harming the revolution”, the group emphasized the revolution’s main objectives, and criticized incitement to revenge and hate speeches. They also focused on the issue of kidnappings, which had spread across the country with an increase in impunity and lack of accountability. The group is also firm when it comes to preserving Syrian diversity, and condemns any form of disrespect to different religious sects. "This will distort the beauty of our revolution," the activists insist. "A revolution for all Syrians."
