The Community Mobilising Team of forumZFD Lebanon will be organising a Practitioner’s Exchange on Participation & Peaceful Change in Communities - Catalyzing Constructive Change Processes, Conflict Transformation & Empowerment in Fabrika, Achrafie, Beirut on December 3rd to 5th, 2018.

This event constitutes an opportunity for attendees to identify like-minded organisations and conceive potential collaborations, in order to strengthen civil society cooperation and synergies.

This event aims to present all the mappings in the Conflict Analysis Project’s data centre, and their usability in research, advocacy, programming, and policy.

During the event, Lebanon Support and forumZFD will present this mapping, as well as the infographic and key findings of the report developed based on the database. The presentation will be followed by a panel intervention of a range of actors from civil society, education, and policy making who will share their insights and experiences on initiatives addressing the past in Lebanon. [Names of panelists will be announced soon]

Kobo ToolBox is built on ODK (Open Data Kit), a suite of tools that allows data collection using mobile devices and data submission to an online server, even without an Internet connection or mobile carrier service at the time of data collection.
