MENA
Project context
CLI had the privilege to work with 18 engaged community leaders from the communities of Al-Mafraq, Irbid, and Zarqaa in Jordan. It was part of the “Community Participation Programme ++” which is supported by the German Institute for Foreign Relations (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen, ifa) and seeks to empower communities to design and implement initiatives that increase social integration and quality of life in the context of high influxes of refugees from Palestine, Iraq, and, more recently, from Syria. The workshop participants were trained in the CLI Dialogic Change Model which supports them to launch their initiatives, such as reducing youth drug abuse, increasing psychological health awareness, and improving hospital services.
