forumZFD and Majed Abu Sharar Media Foundation (MASMF) invite you to join us on a journey with Oral Historian Maria Abunnasr and media journalist Alejandro Gomez-Meade to explore how to work with the past through the power of oral history and contemporary media.

The webinar aims at discussing social justice and social contracts in the Middle East, a region that is also witnessing one of the largest-scale displacements in history. It will reflect on aid interventions, by exploring the formulation of (new) social contracts, based on greater social inclusion of non-nationals, for the provision of social justice for all.

The objective of the webinar is to shed light on various contextual experience and challenges countries of the region are facing, and how civil society actors, scholars, experts and activists, can jointly push forward a right based narrative and policy agenda.

تهدف هذه الندوة إلى تسليط الضوء على تجارب وتحدّيات سياقية مختلفة تواجهها بلدان المنطقة، مع التركيز على الجهد المشترك الذي يمكن أن تبذله المجتمعات المدنية والاختصاصيون/ات والخبراء/خبيرات والناشطون/ات للدفع باتّجاه إرساء نهج قائم على الحقوق في جدول أعمال السياسة العامّة.
