Mission and Objectives

L'association a pour but la création, l'organisation et la promotion de projets en faveur de la paix, de la non-violence, de la rencontre entre les religions et du dialogue des cultures, particulièrement avec et auprès des jeunes générations. Par ces projets, elle entend promouvoir un message de fraternité, de laïcité et de vivre ensemble. Derrière le slogan "Unité dans la foi, diversité dans l'action", des jeunes de tous horizons culturels, avec ou sans appartenance religieuse, s'engagent pour une société unie, riche de sa diversité religieuse. Partant du postulat que la diversité au sens large est une chance, l'Association Coexister a vocation à contribuer à une meilleure cohésion sociale grâce au levier de l´interreligieux. En s'appuyant sur le principe de Coexistence Active, l'Association Coexister cherche à explorer toutes les dimensions de l'interreligieux chez les jeunes et structure ainsi son activité autour de cinq pôles d'activité : le dialogue, la sensibilisation, la formation et les voyages.

Main Projects / Activities

Cinq pôles d'activités : le dialogue, la solidarité, la sensibilisation, la formation et les voyages. Les trois premiers sont repris dans chaque groupe local de Coexister, et les deux derniers n'existent qu'au niveau national. Depuis la création de l'association, les projets suivant ont été réalisés : 4 opérations de solidarité « Ensemble à Sang % », 4 cycles de dialogue à Paris dénommés « KIF » et des dizaines d’événements de dialogue dans les autres villes, 4 programmes de sensibilisation à travers toute la France sur les questions du vivre ensemble et des préjugés, touchant ainsi plus de 6 000 jeunes. Plus de vingt jeunes ont été aux Journées mondiales de la Jeunesse, à Auschwitz et à Rome. Plus de cent étudiants ont été formés aux outils et aux savoir être de l’inter-religieux. Le Festiv'All Together à Lyon, Paris, Lille et Marseille en mai 2013, avec une programmation de don du sang, de théâtre, de concerts et de spectacles, a rassemblé 1500 personnes au total. L'Association Coexister est également sur le point de lancer un projet d'envergure : L'InterFaith Tour - un tour du monde des initiatives interculturelles et interreligieuses par quatre jeunes. Ce projet s'appuie sur une triple dimension - interreligieuse, internationale, jeunesse - et aura les impacts suivants : création d'une plateforme internationale pour mettre en relation les initiatives, rendre visibles des solutions innovantes grâce à un partenariat avec des médias internationaux (une vingtaine des plus grands journaux de la planète), et rassembler des ressources en vue de recherche académique ainsi que pour développer des outils pédagogiques.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

L'un des principes fondateurs de Coexister est son engagement auprès des jeunes générations. L'association bénéficie d'un contact privilégié avec les jeunes, notamment grâce aux groupes Coexister implantés dans plusieurs universités françaises (Sciences Po, Sorbonne, Centrale). L'association est en étroite collaboration avec plusieurs rassemblements importants de jeunes, dont les Scouts et Guides de France. De plus, plusieurs groupes Coexister se sont implantés au niveau local dans plusieurs villes de France (Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Angers, Grenoble, Lille et Evry). Ainsi, l'association peut mettre en oeuvre des projets à la fois nationaux et locaux, et toucher un public étendu.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

L'association Coexister et la Fondation Anna Lindh se retrouvent dans leurs objectifs de rapprochement des populations et d'un dialogue entre les cultures. Les actions de la Fondation Anna Lindh pour améliorer les perceptions entre elles des populations issues de cultures et de religions différentes se basent sur les mêmes principes fondateurs que Coexister, à savoir le respect mutuel et la coexistence. A fin de réaliser la mission et les objectifs de Coexister, l'association bénéficierait énormément du réseau de la Fondation Anna Lindh, qui lui permettrait de travailler avec d'autres organisations dans le but ultime de promouvoir le dialogue interculturel.

General Information

Aie Serve, a youth-based organization, was founded on February 23rd, 2007 with the vision of spreading love, respect and acceptance. The word “Aie” is a Japanese word pronounced as “I” and means “Love”, so the name of NGO is Love to Serve or I Serve…others. The idea came due to the aftermath of July War on Lebanon and the sharp polarization of the Lebanese youth. A group of friends started brainstorming ways of tackling this issue and agreed that the 3 basic values that are missing in Lebanon are Respect, Acceptance and Love. Loving others for who they are, and not which political background or sect they are from, respecting others’ point of views and beliefs no matter what, and accepting differences and considering them the seeds of diversity. Afterwards, t­­he group started gathering more ideas and people and tried to organize themselves little at a time while focusing on serving their surrounding and society at large. Aie Serve evolved from a group of friends, to a group of community service minded people, to a team and an organization.

Mission and Objectives

Vision Aie Serve promotes the values of respect, acceptance and love to achieve an improved future for human kind. Mission Aie Serve is a youth non-governmental organization that works on youth empowerment. Goals Promote Aie Serve’s philosophy and professional volunteerism amongst youth. Empower the youth with the needed soft skills and tools to develop the community. Leverage Aie Serve’s experience to support other organizations in developing their capacities.

Main Projects / Activities

Aie Clubs What is the Aie Clubs program? Aie Clubs program aims at spreading the notions of respect, acceptance and love through empowering youth to become positive agents of change in their small communities. Groups of youth gather to implement the projects of their choice, as long as they follow our three values of Respect, Acceptance & Love. What’s in it for YOU? Our current 200 + beneficiaries of Aie Clubs currently enjoy free training opportunities, build experience in organizational, project, and team management, and better yet, they get to enjoy all of Aie Serve’s facilities, network, and resources. Not only that, but you will also benefit from being an organized entity, whose work’s quality is guaranteed under Aie Serve’s standards, rather than one single person or a group of people with no support for your great ideas. How does an Aie Club function? The clubs’ starters are first of all trained by Aie Serve and other professional trainers to give them the needed tools and skills to better serve their community. Then, a person is assigned as a liaison to follow up with the club and communicate their needs, ideas, and concerns back to Aie Serve. From then on, the sky is the limit in the projects that you can think of and conduct. Who are the Aie Clubs members? An Aie Club is made up of university students on the same campus, neighbors residing in the same area, and any group of different people with the same interests. Current Aie Clubs: Community Based: Beirut AieClub, Beqaa AieClub, Saida AieClub, Tripoli AieClub. University Based: AUB Aie Club (American University of Beirut), Balamand Aie Club (Balamand University – Ashrafieh Campus), BAU – Dibeye Aie Club (Beirut Arab University – Dibeye Campus), LAU Aie Club (Lebanese American University – Beirut Campus), NDU – Chouf Aie Club (Notre Dame University – Dier El Kamar Campus), NDU – Zouk Aie Club ((Notre Dame University – Zouk Campus). Aie Power Program Background & Brief: A lot of youth aspire to make positive change in their community, whether by spreading awareness about a certain issue, empowering community groups, serving the needy, advocating for a cause or lobbying for some policy change, yet in most cases they lack the needed skills, tools and resources to achieve what they dream of. In this context, Aie Serve, as a youth empowerment organization and through the Aie Power Program, aims at empowering those youth by giving them the needed training, coaching and financial support to achieve their aspirations Aie Skills What is it about? Aie Skills is the arm of training in Aie Serve. It’s all about providing the youth with the needed soft skills, thus following Aie Serve’s mission in youth empowerment with the tools they need to develop themselves at first and their society afterwards. How do we do that? Public Workshops on soft skills covering different topics. These workshops are two hours long and held twice a month, thus reaching an average of more than 15 workshops a year, each with a different topic! Advanced Trainings about some specific topics, where we go in depth about such topics for one full day or even a two days camp! The Training of Trainers (ToT) that certifies around 10 new trainers every year so as to be able to deliver our trainings. Club Initiation Management training for Aie Serve University Clubs. Giving trainings for the beneficiaries of the Aie Consult program, who are other NGOs getting trained by Aie Serve on topics covering financial, legal, managerial and organizational levels. What kind of topics do we cover? It’s all about the development of your soft skills: Public speaking, Project planning, Campaigning, Critical Thinking, Teamwork & Team Building, Holding Effective Meetings, Leadership Skills, Conflict Resolution, Fundraising, Time Management, Body Language, Giving & Receiving Criticism, Functioning Under Pressure, Decision Making, Negotiation & Persuasion, Target Group: All youth between the ages of 18 and 30.

General Information

Adyan is a foundation for managing diversity, promoting solidarity and safeguarding human dignity. We are a group of individuals who want a world that embraces diversity, in which we live together in peace.

We work locally, regionally and globally to achieve Inclusive Citizenship, develop Education on Living Together, activate Religious Social Responsibility, and promote Spiritual Solidarity. We also seek to contribute to Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism and advancing Freedom of Religion and Belief. We work through homegrown solutions in Education, Research, Policy Making, Media, and Community Engagement Networks.

Adyan was established on August 6, 2006, and is registered in Lebanon as a non-profit, independent, non-governmental organization (NGO), under the number 1103 by Ministerial Decree dated 18 September 2008.

Mission and Objectives

Vision

Adyan envisions a world where diversity between individuals and communities is lived as an enrichment, generating mutual understanding, intercultural citizenship, creative development, sustainable peace, and spiritual solidarity.   ‎

Mission

Adyan works on valuing religious diversity in its conceptual and practical dimensions, promoting citizenship and peaceful coexistence and diversity management among individuals and communities, on the social, political, educational, informational and spiritual levels, and offering support to the marginalized groups and relief for the afflicted, and working for social and transitional justice, as well as human and ecological development in a holistic and sustainable way.

Main Projects / Activities

Adyan is divided into five departments: The Institute of Citizenship and Diversity Management, Community Engagement Department, The Rashad Center for Cultural Governance, The Development & International Relations Department and the Media Department.

Adyan’s projects include its youth education program Alwan that has been running in Lebanon since 2007. In place of societal – and often inherited – sectarianism, ignorance, prejudice and wounded memories, Alwan provides opportunities for discussion, critical thinking, and new experiences. Another initiative is the Forum for Religious Social Responsibility, which amplifies the voices of religious leaders to foster positive societal change. Adyan also runs a regional training of trainers’ programme, which has resulted in a network of Trainers on Inclusive Citizenship covering 13 Arab countries.
