A fundamental change has affected my life and my relation to things around me. Before taking part in the Alwan program, my positions were based on avoiding communication with other religions and avoiding getting to know about them, thinking that this position would protect me and my children from being shaken in our faith. But Alwan represented a turning point in my life, as I discovered that hesitation is not the solution and that objective knowledge is the basis of liberation of fear from the other.

TRAINING OUTLINE

Course Description

Axis 1: Religious diversity

In order to understand Lebanese religious diversity, workshops are centered on two essential values: respect for differences and the consideration of diversity as an enrichment, both on the personal and on socio-political levels. Sessions of this axis convey information about Christianity, and Islam, the common values between both religions, about religion and society, and about the different ways of living religiosity (i.e the difference between extremism and faith).

Axis 2: Citizenship and Partnership

Active and inclusive citizenship foundations are given through the socio-political understanding of citizenship, identity, and of memory, and through fundamental values of public life, among which are reconciliation and empathy.

Axis 3: Community service
This axis focuses on the values of commitment and participation for effective and sustainable community service. It builds the capacity of the teachers to instill among the students the sentiment of national responsibility and of volunteering and aims to build the skills of students in community needs assessment, project design, and project implementation.
