How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Le secteur culturel et artistique marocain connaît un dynamisme certain depuis plusieurs années. Il est constitué d’une multitude d’associations et d’individus qui investissent dans le développement et la promotion de leurs activités, souvent en l’absence de réelle structuration et de professionnalisme.
Ces associations, souvent uni-disciplinaires, œuvrent dans leur propre domaine et défendent leurs intérêts spécifiques.
Pour un développement durable de ces structures, le secteur artistique et culturel doit s’appuyer sur des initiatives privées capables d’amplifier leurs actions et de participer à la structuration du secteur.
Partant d’une une vision globale et transversale, la Fondation HIBA s’intéresse aux associations culturelles et artistiques dans les domaines des arts vivants et visuels proches des intérêts de la jeunesse et des tendances générationnelles: musique, théâtre, danse, humour, street-art, photographie, design, mode, jeux vidéos.

1.Preventing & stopping  hate speech and incitement to violence in the Arab community
2.Legal Support  for prisoners of conscience
3.Strengthen support and political education for university students and youth political parties
4.Develop the mechanism of action of punitive institutions and staff development

Main Projects / Activities

1.Hate speech
Despite it is a famous word in all European countries and it was killed by the search, and even there
are many laws are enacted for it in most of the countries of the world, but we are so far in Egypt we
don't have a single law to stand up against this unguided violence.
Hatred is the first enemy of humanity; we are in Egypt so far we cannot differentiate between
freedom of objection and incitement to the other and even confuse them .Therefore, we believe that
we have a great responsibility to change this concept in Egyptian society, and even the government
and the Legislature to reduce this discourse.
That hate speech is one of the harmful viruses that spread quickly in an environment such as the
Egyptian environment,  where the customs and traditions and norms and  religious extremism  are
making it easier to promote.
Let's start with the definition of hate speech from our point of view:
"This term is used commonly to refer to the call for national, racial, religious or other hatred. In
addition, the issue is, in essence, what is the extent appropriate or acceptable limit to limit the right
to freedom of expression, when the views that are expressed in favor of determining the rights of
others or infringed upon.
Types of hate speech:
1. Religious discourses in mosques that urges to murder and preparing what we can to fight . in
addition to  mosque  and churches speeches  that incite others
2.  Incitement and violence against women, given as a weak creature that  does not rise to the
rank of men
3. Moral decadence in dealing with gay and lesbians  and consider patients and  not humans in
addition to   incitement to lethality and a degradation of them
4. Incitement  against children and their exploitation due to their homelessness or inability to
live a dignified life.
Political disadvantages for those types of speech :
1. Politicians take advantage from this kind of speeches  to affect the major groups in the
community and earn their voices
2. spread panic among the people and there is a recent example of this and is incident Abu
Nomros where four people was killed who belong to the Shiite sect in the village of Abu
Nomros Giza Governorate due to the permanent induction of  salafism mosques to  kill these
godless people losing  all the meanings of humanity, freedom acquired by the world during
the previous  periods and crises
3. Incitement by the state by charging any of its demonstrators with psychological charges, led
to the growth of hate speech by the ordinary citizen against any demonstrator against
power.
Conclusion and solution:
We urgently need the solidarity of all state agencies and civil society organizations and the people and
all the honorable men of the country to reduce this crime, we must:
1. Use all media Tartuffe to reduce these hate campaigns & it should be adopted by the state or
political parties or human rights organizations to stop such speeches
2. Speed ​​of the enactment of a law that states that anyone who incites to hurt citizen whether
physical or verbal or undercut or work must get punished with a deterrent punishment  to be
example to stop such behavior
3.  Training for individuals and college students to  Establish the concepts of love and humanity.
In adittion, their rehabilitation toward a future refuses to hate and respect the humanity in
collaboration with civil society organizations in the countries that have preceded us in
establishing these concepts to learn ways to solve the problem, and find ways to fit the
Egyptian society from our side as an organization.
ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
1a.Hate speech against sexual minorities
Main goal:
Limiting the hate speech against sexual minorities in the Egyptian society
Project brief:
Under the slogan of "Dignity – Freedom – Social justice" all the masses of the Egyptian
people participated in the revolution that took place in January 25th including sexual
minorities as they thought that their freedom is coming soon but that actually led the
society to clash with them in a bigger clash than before therefore the hate speech against
them got increased in media & social networks which led minorities to incur verbal ,
psychological & physical violence & that’s what the project aim to stop.
Goals:
1. Pressure on the Egyptian government and the Egyptian House of Representatives to pass
a law criminalizing hate speech against sexual minorities.
2 - Create a network to monitor hate speech in the media and various social networks
3 - Create workshops for sexual minorities to teach them how to defend themselves if any
kind of hate speech.
4 - Create seminars and awareness campaigns to define minorities and their rights and
duties to the community

We do standard youth exchange (workcamps, sport exchanges, artistic meetings), exchanges with persons in professional trainings and intercultural trainings for multipliers. We have partners inside the EU; in the Balkans, in Ukraine and Moldova and the Caucasus Region. Before we worked with Palestine and Tunisia, actually we plan to make a study visit with partners from Algeria and Morocco.

Mission and Objectives

The aim of our work is to support the intercultural learning and to improve social skills of the participants. By taking part in common international activities including 'foreigners', and the 'foreign', the participants can get to know better themselves as well as others, and they get involved into questioning themselves.
In this process we see an opportunity to recognize, break up and change rigid perceptions and prejudices, in order to create a foundation for a mutual understanding. One of the goals of the meetings is to accept being different as one form of being equal.
Due to the language as an essential element in exchange measures we offer linguistic animation-training.
 

Main Projects / Activities

The meetings with young participants from every country can have several different contents. Programs can include sports or activities, as canoeing and climbing, as well as media-based and projects orientated in products, dealing with art or cultural topics, such as theatre, photography, video. The range of topics being on offer also includes subject-led programs, such as looking for historical traces, anti-racist work or ecological issues.
The actual topic of each meeting is determined by the interests and needs of the respective participants.
Besides the youth meetings we also offer trainings for youth workers dealing with issues concerning intercultural topics.
Together with the french german youth office we developed a basic training for intercultural youth workers; this we offer together with partners from France and Serbia / Poland. These trainings are held in every partner country for one week, after this training the participants can have a certificate for basic trainings. More info you can find at www.dfjw-zertifikat.org.
