How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Si nous réussissons à construire cette conférence ensemble, cela contribuera de mani-re puissante aux objectifs que s'est assignée la Fondation mais plus encore si comme je l'espère nous atteignons la dimension souhaitée alors ce sera aussi une formidable opération de visibilité pour la Fondation.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Il y a plus de 13 ans  quand j'étais étudiant en 5è année de droit des relations internationales option Diplomatie et Négocitions Stratégiques de l'Université Paris-sud 11, en plus d'être Président de l'Association des étudiants j'avais pour mission de monter le projet Tanger 2006 qui s'articulait autour d'une simulation de négociation internationale dont le thème était la "gestion de crise dans l'espace euro-méditerranéen" et qui était faite en relation avec l'Université de Tanger (pour le Maghreb) et l'Université la Sagesse au Liban pour le Mashrek. J'avais réussi pour cette opération à construire plusieurs partenariats (RFI, Ministère de l'éducation, des Affaires Européennes) notamment avec la Fondation Anna Lindh qui nous avait fortement soutenue et pour lasimulation et pour le colloque qui s'en est suivi. L'idée des Rendez-Vous de l'Olivier est du même type en lui apportant, l'expérience et la maturité aidant, une dimension politique encore plus puissante. Nous croyons tous autant que nous sommes au dialogue des cultures et au dialogue entre les hommes seul rempart efficace à la lutte contre tous les obscurantismes et il apparait que la Fondation Anna Lindh est un outil formidable dans cet objectif.

General Information

Collateral Repair Project (CRP) is a community based organization in Amman, Jordan.  It is a registered non-profit organization in the United States with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, and is registered as an international organization with the Ministry of Social Development in Jordan. CRP runs an Emergency Assistance Program providing basic needs such as food vouchers and medical referrals to refugees and impoverished Jordanians. CRP offers programs to help refugees to rebuild social ties and develop new skills. Educational and skill-building programs build knowledge and practical skills to alleviate conditions of economic insecurity. Trauma sensitivity in all CRP’s programs helps those affected by violence to process their experiences. CRP is funded through private donations and grants. Annual operating budget is around $1 million.  

Mission and Objectives

CRP assists refugees from Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, as well as impoverished Jordanians.  The majority of refugees in Jordan have been displaced for at least 5 years and are likely to remain in Jordan for years to come. More than 80% of these refugees live in poverty and are unable to legally work in Jordan. They face chronic socio-economic vulnerability and remain poorly integrated with the Jordanian host population. CRP seeks to help these vulnerable people by providing basic necessities first and then offering  education and trauma-relief programming on top of that foundation. All of CRP’s activities take place in the city of Amman in two community centers, one in in the Hashemi Shamali neighborhood and a second in the Amman Downtown.

Main Projects / Activities

Basic-Needs Assistance Program provides assistance in the form of food vouchers to the most needy refugee families. Food vouchers gives refugees some independence and a feeling of control. CRP’s Basic-Needs Assistance Program also includes medical referrals and seasonal aid. For example, in the winter CRP distributes winter clothes, blankets, heaters, and heating fuel. Youth Programs include an after-school program for children 6-12, a summer camp, a special after-school program for girls, and a number of programs for teenagers that cultivate a spirit of community service and leadership. Many refugee children have missed years of school and are behind in their learning.  Our youth programs incorporate varied educational methods to empower them to meet challenges and grow as individuals. Educational Programs and Livelihood Programs for adults deliver practical skills that may help to generate income and build confidence.  These include a robust English language program, computer education, and some vocational training such as repairing mobile phones, men’s barbershop, and women’s beauty school.  Many of these programs are led by either foreign volunteers (English classes) or beneficiaries who have risen to leadership positions and want to give back by sharing their skills with the CRP community.   Leadership Programs such as Women’s Empowerment and Men’s Leadership promote awareness of human rights, issues in society, and seek to reduce the incidence of violence within families and against women. Community members are encouraged and enabled to become advocates for their community and to volunteer at the community centers.   Trauma Relief Programs include psycho-social wellness activities such as sports, yoga, music and art therapy, and teaching relaxation techniques and conflict resolution techniques. Trauma sensitivity is integrated in all of CRP’s programs including those for children.  

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Collateral Repair Project works to build resilience in the refugee communities we serve.  Our beneficiaries represent a diversity of cultures from Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, and other countries.  With our programs we seek to enhance the social cohesion between refugees and the host community in Jordan.   CRP and its dynamic community centers in Amman facilitate dialogue between cultures and a respect for human rights.  We can contribute to the Anna Lindh network in many ways. We have a long track record of community engagement in the Hashemi Shamali neighborhood of Amman and deep roots into the refugee communities there, and now we are working from a new community center in the Amman downtown to build a network that incorporates refugees from Sudan, Somalia, and Yemen as well as Jordanians.   CRP has expertise in data collection, analysis, and monitoring, evaluation and learning as we continually seek to improve the results of our community center programs.  We are interested to work with counterpart organizations and individuals in the city of Amman to improve and enhance the social and cultural environment of the city and to create opportunities for fruitful social and economic exchange between all the people living in Amman.  

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We want to join the ALF Network because we believe it will bring more opportunities to our beneficiaries to engage in the Jordanian and regional society.  At our community centers we work hard to offer opportunities for learning and personal development to our beneficiaries of all ages, and we are particularly concerned to encourage refugee families to enroll their children in school and support their studies through the secondary level.  We hope, through the ALF Network, to find more opportunities for our community members and particularly our youth to engage with like-minded others and to be exposed to a diversity of cultural and scientific opportunities for learning. Some of the refugees we serve in Amman will be resettled to third countries, some may choose to return to their country of origin, and some will choose to remain in Jordan.  We want to prepare our beneficiaries for the future by giving them skills, resilience, and hope. We believe that cooperation with the ALF network in Jordan will enrich what CRP can offer at its community centers in Amman, that we can help people to move past mistrust and sectarianism and help both Jordanians and refugees in Jordan to participate constructively in in a larger civil society.

General Information
The Rossing Center runs six core program with a focus on education for an inclusive society and peacebuilding. Each program has its own director and/or coordinator and each staff member has her/his specific responsibilities.  We have 16 staff (the equivilent of 11 full time positions). Our annual budget is about 700.000EUR.  Our main funding partners are European faith organizations and private family foundations. We actively cooperate with the Israeli Ministry of Education (and other govermental agencies) and academic and educational institutions and organizations.  You may read more about our activities in the attached annual report.
Mission and Objectives

The Rossing Center is an interreligious organization based in Jerusalem which promotes an inclusive society for all religious, ethnic and national groups. Through education, encounter, research and advocacy, we foster better relations between Jews, Christians and Muslims in the Holy Land. We believe that understanding, respect, justice and equality will enable us all to live in peace.

Main Projects / Activities

Dialogue and Identity: This school-twinning program, endorsed by the Ministry of Education, began in 2006 in cooperation with the TALI Jewish school network and the National Office of Catholic schools in Israel. In over 24 primary schools across the country, some 800 Jewish, Christian and Muslim pupils, and more than 70 teachers and principals take part in encounters designed to promote understanding, respect and intercultural tolerance, and to encourage the development of social and interpersonal skills in a multicultural society.
Educating for Change: This 30-hour in-school teacher training program gives teachers practical tools for managing and facilitating conflict-related discussions in the classroom, while providing space and time for individual and group development of the teaching staff. Principals participate in a joint Jewish-Arab forum including educational seminars and a study tour. “Educating for Change” was developed in cooperation with the Center for Civic Education in the Ministry of Education, the Jerusalem Education Administration and the Jerusalem Foundation.
Jerusalem Center for Jewish Christian Relations: JCJCR was established in 2004 to meet the challenges posed by the complex and special encounter between the Jewish majority population and the Christian Arab minority in the Holy Land. JCJCR runs a wide range of courses, conferences, seminars and lectures on the Christian communities in the Holy Land, local Jewish-Christian relations, interfaith and intercultural relations for "multipliers", such as teachers and tour guides, and key stakeholders including government officials and the Israeli army.
Healing Hatred: An innovative model for interreligious dialogue, “Healing Hatred” enables participants to understand core spiritual and moral dilemmas that lie at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Developed over the last five years by the Rossing Center, the Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem and the Holy Land Trust in Bethlehem, the course equips professionals with tools and hands-on skills of spiritual counseling for the healing of trauma and fear, in order to change the discourse from victimhood to building a joint future.
Adasha – Jerusalem Center for Interreligious Encounter: ADAShA provides foreign groups which are interreligious in their composition or in their areas of interest with a serious and systematic educational experience in the Holy Land. ADAShA's’s innovative programs encourage personal discovery through firsthand experience. Site visits, text-study, lectures, meetings with local religious leaders and visits to local organizations serve as stimuli for far-ranging theological, historical and contemporary discussions amongst the participants.
Educational Tourism: Tours in Israel are an important educational tool for shaping identity and worldview. We aspire to contribute to a reality of fair tourism - especially the tourism of educational institutions - based on recognition of the human, religious and cultural diversity of the region. We therefore conduct 3-faith tours in Jerusalem and other parts of the country to teach Jewish and Arab children about the different religious groups that make up our multi-faceted society. Check out our Fair Tourism catalogue at www.fairtourism.info.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We can serve as a source of information on peace education and interfaith topics. 

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We recently changed our name - previously we were the Jerusalem Center for Jewish Christian Relations. With this name change, we have greatly expanded and diversified our programming and are currently seeking increased exposure of and interest in our work.
