ANHRE got fund from CIDA Regional Fund for Human Rights and Peace building to implement a project entitled"Promoting Harmonious Relations & Peaceful Conflict Resolution for Children in Jordan, Iraq & Lebanon-Play it Fair (PIF)" between November 2010 to November 2011.  The PIF toolkit is produced by International Center for Human Rights Education – Equitas which was a partner in this project.

 

PIF project is meant to strengthen the capacity of ANHRE's members to establish and manage a Regional Play It Fair Program in the Arab region. That means an increased capacity to plan, organize, deliver and evaluate innovative human rights education activities with appropriate tools and techniques adapted to children aged from 6 to 12 and focusing on universal human rights values and principles. The project was implemented in partnership with the owner of this toolkit, EQUITAS, and the involved members of ANHRE in three countries: Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq. At the end of the project, the toolkit was used within 52 organizations’ programs targeting about 548 people and 9962 children (ages from 6-12).

 

In Jordan, 10 activities were done in November 2010; targeted 1800 children in addition to the 6 individual plans targeted 133 people and 3279 children. In Iraq, 13 activities were done by mid of November 2010; targeted 2300 children in addition to the 6 individual plans targeted 184 people and 378 children. In Lebanon, 5 activities were done; targeted about 1125 children in addition to the 5 individual plans targeted 76 people and 1005 children.

The Play It Fair program for children with civil society in Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan aimed to promote diversity and harmonious intercultural relations by addressing discrimination based on grounds such as race, ethnicity, culture, gender, disability or sexual orientation with the active participation of children and youth.

 

The project succeeded into engaging ANHRE and its members (and their organizations) in the management of a joint sub-regional initiative (Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan) that promotes and enhances  harmonious relations, human rights, non-discrimination and peaceful conflict resolution among children aged from 6 to 12 living in harsh, vulnerable and marginalized conditions. ANHRE members strengthened their capacity to establish and manage a Regional Play It Fair Program in the Arab region. That means an increased capacity to plan, organize, deliver and evaluate innovative human rights education activities with appropriate tools and techniques adapted to children aged from 6 to 12 and focusing on universal human rights values and principles.
