In early 2022, JLI launched our first three regional learning hubs, in the Middle East, Syria, and East Africa.

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.

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’.

ورشة عمل تمهيدية حول التواصل اللاعنفي NVC التواصل اللاعنفي هو طريقة تواصل تعبيرًا واستماعًا ، تساهم في الحفاظ على الروابط الإنسانية بين الأفراد ، حتى في الظروف الصعبة. تم تطويره في سبعينيات القرن الماضي ويستخدم الآن في جميع أنحاء العالم.

Have you ever struggled giving or receiving feedback? Do you want to communicate your suggestions with more ease? Could your team be more successful if people shared their opinions more openly? Do you have enough of people speaking behind each other’s back instead of talking directly to each other?

In this session you can learn to understand yourself better and come up with strategies that can really meet your needs.

عبر إعادة تسليط الضوء على المسألة الاجتماعية كركيزة للتحليل، تسعى هذه الندوة الثالثة إلى تقديم لمحة عامّة عن التوتّرات الاجتماعية القديمة والجديدة التي يشهدها المجتمعان التونسي والمصري حاليًا. وتهدف الندوة من خلال ذلك إلى تحدّي المقاربات السائدة القائمة على ثنائية النجاح/الفشل، والتي يُفسَّر على أساسها التطوّر التاريخي للمنطقة في مرحلة ما بعد الانتفاضات الشعبية.

By bringing back the social question at the center of the analysis, this third seminar aims at providing an overview of the old and new social tensions that are currently crossing the Tunisian and Egyptian societies. In so doing, the webinar seeks to challenge the dominant dichotomic success/failure approaches with which the post-Uprising historical development of the region has been understood.

من خلال تسليط الضوء على أشكال ومسارات النزاع في المغرب والأردن بعد العام ٢٠١١، تهدف هذه الندوة الافتراضية إلى النظر بتمعّن في «العودة إلى المسألة الاجتماعية» وكيف يمكن لذلك أن يساهم في التوصّل إلى فهم أفضل للتغيّرات العميقة التي شهدتها المجتمعات العربية خلال العقد المنصرم.
