Silat Wassel: an independent youth group aiming to raise awareness on citizenship and civil rights issues
This session is part of the webinar series launched by CeSSRA on “The Politics of Social Justice in Lebanon: Between Citizenship, Identities and Compounding Crises” aimed at analysing the current social protection system and its limitations. It seeks to inform public policy debates, and shift social justice and protection narratives and programmes from charity to a citizen-based approach.
تأتي هذه الجلسة ضمن سلسلة الندوات التي أطلقها مركز العلوم الاجتماعية للأبحاث التطبيقية تحت عنوان "سياسة العدالة الاجتماعية في لبنان: بين المواطنة والهويات والأزمات المتفاقمة" بهدف تحليل نظام الحماية الاجتماعية الحالي وقيوده. تسعى الجلسة إلى إثراء النقاشات حول السياسات العامّة، وتحويل سرديات وبرامج العدالة الاجتماعية والحماية، من النهج القائم على المساعدات ذات الطابع الخيري إلى النهج المتمحور حول المواطنين/ات.
في الجلسة الأولى من هذه الندوة، سنعرض ونُناقش بحث الدكتورة ليلى دخلي حول "انتفاضات الخبز" التي اندلعت في تونس في 28 كانون الأوّل/ديسمبر 1983، في أعقاب البرامج التي رعاها البنك الدولي. بالكاد استمرَّ هذا التحرُّك لمدّة عشرة أيّام، لكنَّه أودى بحياة أكثر من مئة شخص. يشرح البحث كيف كانَ ردّ فعل سكّان الأحياء الشعبية على إنشاء شكل جديد من دولة الرفاه التي اهتمَّت بمكافحة الفقر - أو محاربة الفقراء - أكثر من اهتمامها بتكافؤ الظروف أو تقديم الفُرَص للجميع بالتساوي. ستُناقِش الدكتورة دخلي كيف مثَّلَت هذه الاحتجاجات مفترقًا مختلفًا عن الممارسات السابقة لإصلاح الدولة والاحتجاج الشعبي، مُشيرةً إلى أنَّ...
The first session of this webinar cycle will present and discuss the research of Dr. Leyla Dakhli on the “Bread Riots” that broke out in Tunisia on 28 December 1983, in the wake of World Bank-sponsored programmes. This movement lasted barely ten days, yet cost the lives of over one hundred people. The research explains how the inhabitants in popular neighborhoods reacted to the establishment of a new form of welfare state that was more concerned with fighting poverty – or fighting the poor – than with equalizing conditions or offering the same opportunities for everyone. Dr Dakhli will discuss...
In this 4-hour online session you can learn about preparing and facilitating a dialogue between two people, helping them to really listen to and understand each other and identifying actions they can take. You will learn how to prepare yourself so you can be equally supporting both sides, and to create a safe space for them to have a dialogue that is not about blame and defensiveness, but about really understanding the needs of both. You will have the opportunity to practice your new learned skills and to reflect on challenges you might have faced when you tried to facilitate or mediate before...
As part of CeSSRA’s research programme on social justice, this introductory webinar aims at providing an overview of the main challenges faced today on several levels as well as by several actors in addition to the required policy reforms and approaches.
The webinar will critically discuss how the scattered contributory-based and ad hoc system, provides social assistance along identity, class, political, and ethnic lines giving way for exclusionary mechanisms.
Lastly the session will explore how to shift from a charity-based approach to a citizen-based approach. The discussion will then...
في إطار البرنامج البحثي حول العدالة الاجتماعية الذي يُديره مركز العلوم الاجتماعية للأبحاث التطبيقية، تهدف هذه الندوة التمهيدية إلى تقديم لمحة عامّة عن نظام الضمان الاجتماعي والحماية الاجتماعية في لبنان وتأثير هذا النظام المشرذم على المواطنين والمواطنات في ظلّ الأزمات المتعدّدة التي يشهدُها البلد حاليًا.
سنُناقِش بشكلٍ نقدي كيف أنَّ النظام المشرذم الظرفيّ والقائم على الاشتراكات يُوفِّر المساعدة الاجتماعية في موازاة التصنيف على أساس الهوية والطبقة والانتماءات السياسية والعرقية، ما يُفسح بالمجال أمام آليات الإقصاء.
ختامًا، ستبحث الندوة في كيفية الانتقال من النهج القائم على المساعدات ذات...
In this 3-hour online-session we will focus on our own feelings and needs. We will try to understand what keeps us from addressing the person and why we might not be able to just close this chapter. We can learn how to deal with our emotions involved and get clarity about our needs and next steps. This session can give us insights that make it much easier to approach the other person. Or it might even happen that after this session you don’t feel the need to address the issue with the other person anymore because you have ‘sorted this out’ in yourself.
In this 2-hour online-session we will discuss the signs of conflict escalation and what makes it difficult to act. We will also share tips on how to de-escalate in different situations. And we will look at how to take care of ourselves and others during (or after) such incidents. This can also mean letting go of self-judgements about how we ‘should have reacted’.
The Wide Awake Art Contest, an open call to Lebanese and Tunisian artists as well as artists living in Lebanon or Tunisia to explore the theme “The Sound of Dissent.” The contest will showcase works by those who are documenting and memorializing their communities’ stories in times of instability, resistance, and change.
