The Idea

Democracy needs democrats; civil society needs active citizens; dialogue needs speakers with a profile. Creating those people all in one is the aim of this project. But what do we mean when speaking of a lively democracy, of a functioning civil society and of constructive dialogue? What are the cultural, political and historic implications of those concepts? How can we apply them to the specific conditions of the participating countries, to the cultural and societal contexts, to the qualities of human beings, who make them come alive through their engagement? With this project we will use the protected atmosphere of a training program to find answers to those questions; to strengthen the competencies of the participants; to develop strategies for continuing activities back home.  „Do not worry where the next step may take you“, says former UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld. „Only those who look far ahead will reach their goals.“ We will do both in this project: We will carefully check our next steps and at the same time we will keep our vision and our goals in mind: „Keep your vision – reach your goal“.



Tropics of the seminar program

The concept of human rights: background and context; concepts of human rights education;

Cooperation partners and sponsors

Germany: Gustav Stresemann Institute, Bad Bevensen is an independent and impartial organization of civic education and intercultural training. Education for democratic citizenship, training programs in dialogue and tolerance and motivation for civic engagement are essential parts of its projects. Located in Northern Germany – Berlin and Hamburg within reach – GSI cooperates with local, national and international networks.

Egypt: St. Mena Forum for Peace and Development is a center of the Coptic Church located in the diocese of Beni Suef. It engages in peace building programs, leadership training for youth workers, counseling seminars and exchange programs designed for confidence building measures of different local groups.

Jordan: the Debate Foundation in Amman was established by young people who participated in the project „Empowering Youth Employees and Activists of Jordanian NGOs“. The foundation works on spreading the culture of dialogue and debate in the community, enhancing the acceptance of other’s opinions, and generalizing positive examples, in addition to training in soft skills.

Germany: The Federal Foreign Office established a specific program supporting youth exchange with the countries of Arab Spring. This program is part of its general approach in developing intercultural dialogue. In addition, it fosters projects on European-Islamic dialogue. Back in 2002 Germany was the first Western country to make this field a political focus.

Germany: The Association for the Advancement of Political Action is a non-partisan, non-profit, non-governmental institution and offers seminars and trainings in civic education for young people. It is convinced that the most effective way to encourage young people to take up their social and political responsibility is to be a kind of role model. Its courses are held by volunteers – mainly students and young professionals.
