General Information

PartnersLebanon, a member of the Partners Global network, was established in 2017 as registered nongovernmental organization. We infuse arts programming with conflict mediation tools to bridge cultural divides, re-inject the historical memory of heritage, and cultivate a sense of unity and belonging in Lebanese communities. By using arts as a tool for grassroots conflict management, PartnersLebanon promotes sustainable peace, especially among youth, so they may pass this sense of cohesion on to future generations.

Mission and Objectives

VISION:

PartnersLebanon has a vision for a Lebanon where its diverse communities coexist in harmony and dignity with a shared sense of identity and belonging above all ideologies and beliefs; collaborating towards achieving and sustaining peace, prosperity and inclusion.

MISSION:

PartnersLebanon uses creativity to bridge divides; empower women and youth; and, promote sustainable development. Through our programming, we bring together different actors and diverse perspectives to connect on a deeper level through the transformative power of the arts for social change.

Main Projects / Activities
How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

With Arts and Culture as our priority reinforcement approach, we recognize that our focus on individual relationships through music and personal well-being (such as mindfulness practices) is only part of a process of lasting social change. PartnersLebanon is committed to linking our programs with broader societal change initiatives that are focused on improving good governance and responsiveness to the needs of marginalized populations. We will connect with advocacy networks, such as the ALF Network in Lebanon, to ensure access to the stories and needs of our community constituents. We will also use the creative content and channels we develop in collaboration with like-minded peers to promote advocacy messages for long-term positive change in Lebanon.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

PartnersLebanon's aims and objectives are in full agreement and alignment with those of the ALF Network members.

We constantly seek to collaborate with impactful change-makers, exchange knowledge and expertise promoting successful forms of narratives for peace; empowering and guiding youth towards creating positive change in our societies; mitigating social conflicts, bridging social divides created by the past decades of civil war in our country; and strengthening resiliency and determination against all levels of discrimination and social injustice.

We eagerly look forward to mutual productive engagements in the near future.
