La Fondation pour le Futur propose une formation « Civil Society to Civil Society : organizing for social change » (en anglais) Retour vers les opportunités

Both sides of the Mediterranean Sea are now involved in struggles for social justice, for real democracies where people can play an active role in the decisions affecting their lives. From Spain to Greece, from Tunis to Lebanon there is a wave of emerging movements proposing new ways of organizing.

A program is being developed by the Jordanian organization Foundation for the Future, in cooperation with NOVACT, funded by Spanish Agency for International Cooperation, AECID to set up as a space to think about our movements and campaigns from the perspective of training. For this program, we have combined the principles and methods of pedagogy of liberation, dialogical learning and communities of practice methodology. Techniques that understand our thinking and learning experiences as collective transformation processes.

The program is designed for active people who are involved on ongoing campaigns on social justice or have some experience in training social processes.
