General Information

تأسّست إنجاز عام ١٩٩٩ كمشروع ضمن برامج مؤسسة إنقاذ الطفل (Save the Children) لتصبح عام ۲۰۰١ مؤسّسة أردنيّة غير ربحيّة (إنجاز هي شركة مساهمة خاصة لا تهدف الى تحقيق الربح برأس مال ٥۰,۰۰۰ دينار أردني، مسجلة في سجل الشركات المساهمة الخاصة تحت رقم) ١۰١)(. وانطلاقاً من رسالة مؤسّسة إنجاز والتي تهدف إلى تحفيز وإعداد الشّباب ليصبحوا أعضاءَ فاعلين في مجتمعهم ويساهموا في تنمية الاقتصاد الوطني من خلال المساهمة في تطوير منظومة التّعليم وريادة الأعمال، وبناءً على خبرة المؤسّسة القيّمة على مدار اثنتي وعشرين سنةً الماضية في تطوير أساليب التّعليم التّشاركي والتّفاعلي وتدريب المدرّبين، تقوم إنجاز بدور رئيس في تصميم البرامج وتنفيذها وذلك ضمن اتفاقيات استراتيجيّة مع القطاع العام والخاص وقطاع المجتمع المدني، بهدف تقليل الفجوة في المهارات بين مخرجات النّظام التعليمي والمتطلبات المتغيّرة في سوق العمل.

INJAZ was founded in 1999 as a project under (Save the Children Organization) programs. In 2001, INJAZ became an independent, nonprofit Jordanian organization (INJAZ is a private shareholding company that does not aim to achieve profit with a capital of 50,000 Jordanian dinars, registered under the Private Shareholding Companies Register under No. (101)). Building on its mission to inspire and prepare youth to become productive members in their society and accelerate the development of the national economy through contributing to the advancement of the education and entrepreneurship ecosystems, INJAZ has established itself over the past 22 years as a leading solution provider linking the public, private, and civil society sectors to bridge the skills gap between the educational system and the changing needs of the labor market.

Mission and Objectives

تعمل إنجاز على تمكين الشّباب الأردني ومراعاة احتياجاتهم من خلال مجموعة واسعة من البرامج التي تُعنى بصقل المهارات الحياتيّة، والثّقافة الماليّة، ومهارات إدارة الأعمال والرّيادة، والمهارات الرّقميّة، والقيادة المجتمعيّة. وقد طوَّرت إنجاز على مرّ السنوات برامجها الخاصّة بالتّشاور مع الخبراء المحلّيّين والعالميين، وتعاونت مع منظمات تنمويّة دوليّة لتطوير البرامج الهادفة وعالية الأثر وتكييفها بما يتلاءم مع المتطلّبات المحليّة، كما واصلت إنجاز نجاحاتها في تحقيق نسب عالية من مشاركة الإناث في البرامج، حيث شكّلت الطالبات أكثر من (٦٠٪) من المستفيدين على نطاق المدارس والجامعات كل عام.

INJAZ’s portfolio of programs addresses the wide range of needs of young Jordanians and complements the education and training provided by traditional educational institutions with programs that develop vital soft and hard skills (Life Skills, Financial Education, Entrepreneurship and Business Skills, Digital Skills, and Social Leadership) necessary to become competent entrepreneurs and/or employees in the private sector. Over the years, INJAZ has developed its own programs in consultation with local and regional experts and collaborated with international development organizations to bring new, high-impact programs to Jordan and adapt them to local sensibilities. INJAZ has been consistently successful in achieving high rates of female participation in its programs – female students make up more than 60 percent of beneficiaries at the school and university levels each year, as well as student teams for project-based programs are just as often led by young women as by young men.

Main Projects / Activities

أُبرمت إنجاز على مدى السّنوات الماضية اتفاقيّات تعاون مع الوزارات الخدميّة الرئيسة، بما فيها وزارة التّربية والتّعليم، ووزارة التّخطيط والتّعاون الدّولي، ووزارة التّنمية الاجتماعية، إضافة إلى مجموعة من المؤسّسات الوطنيّة كصندوق الملك عبد الله الثّاني للتّنمية ومؤسّسة التّدريب المهنيّ، علاوةً على تميّز إنجاز في شبكتها المتينة مع شركائها في القطاع الخاص، ممن أتاحوا لها رؤيةً بالغة الأهمية من منظور أصحاب العمل، الذين شاركوا في تصميم برامج إنجاز على النّحو الذي يلبي متطلبات سوق العمل. كما أبرمت إنجاز شراكة إستراتيجية مع البنك المركزي الأردني ووزارة التّربية والتّعليم لتعميم برنامج الثقافة المالية (FEP) في كافة مدارس المملكة.

It has cooperation agreements with key ministries, including the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC), the Ministry of Social Development (MOSD), the King Abdullah II Fund for Development (KAFD), and the Vocational Training Center (VTC). Furthermore, INJAZ is distinguished by its robust network of private sector partners who provide critical insight into employer perspectives which guides the demand-driven design of INJAZ programs. INJAZ also strategically partnered with the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) and the Ministry of Education (MoE) to mainstream the Financial Education Program (FEP) in all schools across the Kingdom.

Mediterranean music and dancing and improve its protection, enhancement and restoration.
2-Regain community public space access, while generating new paths for encounters, where audiences, local and
international artists gather to engage with one another, developing new content and alliances for cooperative social
thinking and the exchange of ideas.
3- Promoting gender equality and human rights focusing on the practice of women collective performance through
dedicated training and cross cultural exchange of artistic practices, with the aim of actively repositioning the role of
women as ritual officers and performers in traditional culture and music throughout the spectrum of the mediterranean
cultural crossroads.

Main Projects / Activities

Today, Tavola Tonda delivers a rich weekly program of 5 traditional dance classes and 8 traditional music instruments
classes: frame drum, guitar, mandolin and accordion, engaging and training around 200 people, between youth and adults.
Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, we also offered music instruments courses of flute, violin, Arab oud, and the traditional
singing and vocal technique and training course, reaching more than 400 people. The health crisis linked to the COVID-19
pandemic had a profound impact on the entire global cultural ecosystem. The mobility restrictions and confinement
measures drastically curtailed access to culture and have disrupted the cultural sector as a whole. By March 2020, our inperson classes, events, concerts and performances were cancelled or postponed. Building on the impact and considering
the still challenging context post-COVID, we are still recovering and implementing our activities and complementarities.
In 2022/23 our classes have been complemented by 10 intensive workshops and seminars of traditional dances, vocal
technique, frame drumming techniques and drum making workshops led by many of the icons of the Italian and
international traditional and ethnic music scenes, engaging more than 300 people.

Since 2017, Tavola Tonda has been organising Sponde Sonore Festival, one of the most relevant festivals dedicated to
traditional, ethnic and folk music in Italy, hosting live music featuring national and international artists as well as art
installations and workshops. Over 6 months, more than 2100 audiences, as well as visitors from other parts of Italy,
Europe, and beyond, take part in 17 festival’s concerts and other cultural activities.
Before the Covid pandemic, Balfolk dances events in Tavola Tonda were started with our first big ball in March of 2011
and since then many people have contributed to the development of this community based event. In 2022/23 we organized
8 Balfolk dances events with live bands, sometimes visiting from out of town, often focusing on a specific regional music
and dance, and open to all to participate. More than 700 people attended them.
Over the last 2 years we also organised 10 Milonga (Tango) evenings reaching over 1200 people, we also hosted 8 book
launch events attended by 800 people and 10 Stand Up Comedy evenings more than 1000 people.
Tavola Tonda is also active in production work to create a cohesive and entertaining experience for the audience, while
raising the necessary funds to finance the production. Several theatre and music performances were produced along the
year. The Choròs project, an all female frame drumming performance collective, is also a produced performance, a
workshop incubator and spearhead into new research projects. One such project is the Euro Mediterranean Frame Drum
Map. A google map powered collective project born to gather all the known documents and evidence of female frame
drumming from the proto and prehistoric periods until present times in the broader Mediterranean area, the project
complemented by a growing bibliography provides a great starting point to anyone interested in the frame drumming
traditions of the area.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

The safeguarding and valorisation of the cultural heritage of Sicily and the broader Mediterranean music and dancing
through the engagement and the participation of our communities by inclusive artistic and cultural practices is our way to
rely on creativity and develop heritage-led community development. Through our activities youth and adults will be
engaged in proposing and developing artwork as creative solutions to local challenges. Creativity can then be understood
as ways of expanding what we already know, understand and can do.Through its creative imagination and ingenious
rebirth, art tells a story that has the power to alter and positively influence people’s perspectives and opinions while also
instilling values that benefit all, no matter how our backgrounds or beliefs may differ. In one of our traditional dance
classes, for example, even though each participant is learning a fixed movement vocabulary, since learning is primarily
kinaesthetic, each individual makes their own connections to the idea of the movement. Each participant brings into the
class her/his own individuality, which when merged with the seemingly repetitive or rigid movement code of the dance
style, reflects the personality of the dancer.
We would contribute to the Network to keep engaging the youth in our community in Art and culture, while creating a new
generation who may go on to produce works that raise awareness of the issues they feel passionate about. We will
support the facilitation of artistic Residencies with North African and Southern European traditional artists, where artists
could work on a project changing perspective and in the meantime they could also give workshops on their specialty in the
communities and contribute to improve our internationalisation.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The participation in the Network will give us the opportunities to become member of a community of practice, bringing our musicians, dancers, young people and adults '' into the tent” and creating a space of exchange, co-creation and inclusion, while create synergies and complementarities with national and international likeminded organisations to create a movement of Creativity for Social Change. Getting in a new network comes with a new set of collaboration possibilities. Letting us cross borders and cross pollinate our talents and expertise with that of others, strengthening the skills and capabilities necessary to overcome our current struggles. Being part of an extensive platform born of the combined efforts of research, education and artistic activities for the transmission of tradition and exploration of innovation,can bring people together across borders, in a safe space where so many languages, cultural practices, collective memories, beliefs and perspectives coexist in close proximity.
