Nahar of Youth runs a training on dialogue, conflict resolution and development

“Nahar al Shabab” organised in collaboration with the Friedrich Ebert Foundation a training workshop which was held in 7arissa within the framework of the LYLOT-2 programme which seeks to train young people from different political allegiances and regions in areas of communication, conflict resolution, positive change and implementation of development projects.
One of the organizers of the workshop belonging to Nahar al Shabab, Mario Ghorayeb, clarified that the training which targeted 75 people aims to develop policies for addressing daily needs. It also intended to create opportunities for the youth to interact with each other and exchange expertise and knowledge. The first training session focused on communication and conflict resolution and included discussions and viewing of short films on the communication skills.  The second session included a 1.5 hours test during which participants were asked to respond to a question on the power of civil society and local problems.  The third session focused on decentralisation, its pros and cons and the challenges towards its implementation. The event was concluded with an evaluation session after which 25 people will be selected to participate in the second stage of the project.
