ANHRE is implementing a 3 year project between the period from April 2011 to March 2015 entitled"promote understanding of human rights, non-discrimination and peaceful conflict resolution in education programs for children in Lebanon and Jordan" funded by Arab Human Rights Fund. The goal of this project is to strengthen the capacity of the ministries of education in Jordan and Lebanon to undertake education and networking activities that promote and enhance harmonious relations, human rights, non-discrimination and peaceful conflict resolution among children aged from 6 to 12 living in harsh, vulnerable and marginalized conditions.

 

More specifically, the objectives of the program are the following:

1. To collaborate with Ministries of Education to integrate the PIF toolkit within the schools’ programs in Lebanon and Jordan in some underprivileged and marginalized schools, focusing on the opportunities and on the importance of promoting inclusion, non-discrimination, human rights and peaceful conflict resolution in their policies and curriculum for children.

2. Building  the capacity of the staff and teachers of the Ministry of Education in Jordan and Lebanon in order to deliver the human rights and peaceful conflict resolution education to their colleagues and incorporate it in their work with children within the schools’ programs 

3. To strengthen the capacity of the core trainers of ANHRE in Jordan and Lebanon (3 from the local partners in each country which have strong connections and experience with the Ministry of Education) as certified trainers to develop, deliver and sustain non-formal multiculturalism and human rights education programs.

4. Raising the awareness of discriminatory attitudes and behavior among children, to facilitate the integration of the underlying values of non-discrimination, human rights and peaceful conflict resolution in their behavior and attitudes and to prevent conflict over the long term.  

5. To share learned lessons from the approach with other organizations, the general public, community leaders, public officials and parents.
