General Information
THE FAMILY GUIDANCE AND AWARENESS CENTER (FGAC) was established in 1996 in Zarqa/ Jordan, for the purpose of enabling women in the social and economic domains, integrating them in the development process, building the national economy and promoting the welfare of Jordanian families in general. FGAC conducts programmes targeting women and girls, children and youth. Addressing domestic violence and gender-based violence constitutes a major focus of FGAC planning and activities, applying awareness, training, economic strengthening, counseling, and legal support approaches to enable women and girls to stand up for their rights, and face obstacles that prevent their full and equal participation, not only within their families and immediate community, but also in public life with specific emphasis on the political and decision making processes in the country. Specifically, there is the Justice Center for Legal Support programme that provides legal counseling and legal representation in courts. Other programmes include the promotion of women’s political participation; a special programme was conducted to encourage women to run for Parliament, providing them with needed knowledge and skills. Starting in 2008 FGAC has been working in line with a 3-phase Strategic Plan that is supposed to end in 2012 as follows, with preparations for a new 5-year plan for 2012-2017 currently under preparation: The first phase was implemented with support from PSP and in cooperation with ZENID, and consisted of conducting a “Training for Trainers” programme (TOT), through which a group representing 7 agencies working in the field of family protection were trained on the concepts and means of dealing with perpetrators of domestic violence. A “Training Manual on dealing with Offenders and Perpetrators” for workers in the field of protecting women against violence was produced in this phase. The development of this core group of trainers is very important in providing organizations working in the field of domestic violence with the necessary knowledge and skills they need in their work. The second phase consisted of empowering women who are subject to violence through providing them with awareness of human rights in general, their legal rights and means to deal with violence inflicted on them, including providing legal representation in courts. It also introduced another critical aspect, which is dealing with perpetrators; through providing awareness and rehabilitation. It addressed 150 cases through providing specialized programs in self control and anger management techniques, behavior modification and alternatives to violence strategies. It also included activities that aimed to improve dialogue and sound parenting skills, and raising community awareness on the negative impacts of violence on the individual, the family and the society . Building on the experiences gained from the first two phases, the third phase consisted of advocating for and establishing a model family justice center that is now ready to provide integrated good quality services accessible in one location, within the boundaries of the Family Guidance and Awareness Center in Zarqa, for victims of violence as well as for dealing with perpetrators in addition to others seeking advice. This has been implemented with support from the Vital Voices Global Partnership seeking to achieve important goals in the field of gender equality by catering for the needs of the most vulnerable category of the community; the disadvantaged women and girls. The training component targeted members of the Judiciary, the Police and other concerned agencies in order to ensure equal treatment for women before the law, in line with internationally observed human rights.The Family Guidance and Awareness Center (FGAC) was established in 1996 for the purpose of enabling women in the social and economic domains, integrating them in the development process and building the national economy and promoting the welfare of Jordanian families in general. In line with the above, FGAC aims at improving the status of women in the community through equipping them with the knowledge and skills that enable them to understand their rights, stand up for them and, at the same time, be capable to contribute effectively to the development of their community at the local and the national levels. For this to be achieved, FGAC believes that efforts on the levels of advocacy, raising awareness and training need to target the whole community in order to achieve the desired change. Throughout this integrated process of change, the welfare and wellbeing of the family need to be kept sound and intact. A healthy status of women in the social network is a major factor that stabilizes and improves the family welfare and wellbeing, and that entails working towards improving social perceptions of women’s worth, roles and capacities. FGAC conducts programmes targeting women and girls, children and youth. Addressing domestic violence and gender-based violence constitutes a major focus of FGAC planning and activities, applying awareness, training, economic strengthening, counseling, and legal support approaches to enable women and girls to stand up for their rights, and face obstacles that prevent their full and equal participation, not only within their families and immediate community, but also in public life with specific emphasis on the political and decision making processes in the country. Specifically, FGAC hosts the Justice Center for Legal Support programme that provides legal counseling and legal representation in courts. Other programmes include the promotion of women’s political participation and socio-economic empowerment.
Mission and Objectives

Capitalizing on the field experience and outreach capacities that FGAC has in the community, specifically in Zarqa governorate, and the quality legal support that ABA ROLI has been providing in Jordan, the two organizations will partner to create a mobile outreach unit that would provide legal support and counseling to marginalized women in Zarqa governorate. This is particularly important as providing awareness, prevention and treatment has been established as a successful approach to address gender-based violence that obstructs women’s participation in public life, affecting the progress of the whole society. The project will contribute to addressing gender-based violence in order to improve women’s and girls’ chances of equal participation in public life in Jordan through sensitizing them about their legal rights and providing needed legal counseling.

Main Projects / Activities

Over the past few years and with close collaboration and support from VV Global Partnership, FGAC has been involved in implementing programs aiming at combating gender-based violence in cooperation with partner organizations including the Judiciary, Police (Family Protection Department), probation officers, the Ministry of Social Development. The first Family Justice Center managed by an NGO was established in Zarqa at FGAC headquarters over the period from 2011-2012, providing co-located services to women victims of domestic violence.

  1. Heritage
General Information
Founded in 2008 in Beirut, and registered with the Lebanese Ministry of Interior of Lebanon under number 171/2008, the Arab Center for Architecture (Association for the preservation and dissemination of modern Lebanese and Arab built heritage) is a non-profit organization addressing modern urban design, architecture, design, and planning in the Arab world. Its board members are: George Arbid (president), Nada Assi, Fouad El Khoury, Bernard Khoury, Hashim Sarkis, Amira Solh, Jad Tabet. ACA presently employs, on part time basis, a project manager, a documentalist and a number of architects and architecture students engaged in the digitizing activity. The ACA is currently collaborating in a project on "strengthening capacities in the cultural world" funded by the EU and the Heinrich Boll Foundation in partnership with many associations working in the field of modern archives. Seminars, trainings, publications, exhibitions and conferences are among the main activities developed by the center.
Mission and Objectives

The aim of ACA is to raise awareness about architecture and urbanism within civil society. Its ambition is to provide a public forum for debating the present and future of architecture and cities. ACA wishes to develop the cultural value of architecture and design and the recognition of the social impact it has on urban regeneration, building communities, education and vocational development. ACA considers that it is insufficient to dwell on past glories and not recognize the value of our more recent heritage. By understanding the value of modern architecture, design and the built environment, society is far more capable of developing a contemporary image of itself. The recent development of architecture in the Arab world calls for a platform to discuss issues pertaining to the built environment. A growing interest in the cultural importance of architecture, along with a lack of professional and public awareness, testifies to such a need. Lebanon, where the ACA office is based, serves as a perfect example of a country lacking the needed infrastructure and debate, which in turn undermines the economic and social impact of architectural activity. An unprecedented initiative in Beirut, ACA aims to act as a reference point for ideas and debates; a platform for the professional community and other sectors of society.

Main Projects / Activities

Besides its constant efforts in collecting, archiving, and developing its database, ACA is currently engaged in many activities, namely: • The establishment of a research center, with assistance from the European Commission and the Heinrich Böll Foundation for equipment purchasing and staff training • Participation in MoHO (Modern Heritage Observatory), in partnership with the Arab Image Foundation, IRAB and the Cinémathèque de Tanger, with the support of the European Commission & the Heinrich Böll Foundation www.modernheritageobservatory.org • Participation in the experts group created by UNESCO “Patrimoine des modernités dans le monde arabe” • The creation of a Lebanese Chapter of Docomomo (accepted at the 12th International Docomomo Conference in Finland, August 2012) • The elaboration of a guide on Modern Architecture in Beirut • An exhibition of archives related to Modern Architecture in Lebanon • Organizing,in collaboration with the MoHO platform, the first edition of the International Archives Day 2013

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

ACA is a pioneer organization in the field of the preservation of architectural archives. Its board members are all committed in increasing knowledge and awareness regarding modern architecture in Lebanon and the Arab World at large. ACA is ready to organize events, publish books, advocate for the protection of modern heritage and facilitate training to persons interested in the preservation and digitalization of archives. ACA can also promote cultural tourism. ACA can give access to its database and archives for students from allover the world and play the role of a research center. ACA needs as well to benefit from trainings in Europe in order to increase its know-how.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

In order to preserve and promote Arab modern architecture, the Arab Center for Architecture is always seeking knowledge and know-how in the various fields related to its activities.

General Information
As a result of these studies, which took into account the current situation of our university and current developments in higher education, a list of proposed activities related to internationalization was presented, with briefing files, to our Rector Prof. Dr. Israfil Kurtcephe. This programme of activities, which would encompass the Erasmus, Farabi and Mevlana Exchange Programmes, the Bologna Process, EU Youth Programmes, IAESTE, and Joint Degree Programmes, would be carried out under the name of the International Relations Office. In order to maintain the efficiency and effectiveness of our internationalization activities, the Board of Directors produced a restructuring proposal on September 12th 2012. This required units responsible for the Erasmus, Farabi and Mevlana Exchange Programmes, Bologna Process, EU Youth Programmes, IAESTE, Joint Degree Programmes, as well as proposed activities related to the internationalization of business and transactions, to be brought together under the title; 'The International Relations Office'. The International Relations Office was thereby established as the link between the International Relations Coordinator and the offices created to represent the 5 main fields of activity; the EU Education and Youth Programme, International Cooperation and Publicity, the Bologna Process, the Farabi Programme and the Mevlana Programme. In addition, in order to ensure an efficient level of communication for all internationalization activities, the 6th floor of the Rectorate Building has been established as a dedicated location where all of the main units dealing with international relations can be brought together under the title; “the International Relations Office”. The International Relations Coordination Board was established in order to ensure there was effective coordination between the units, and to monitor all activities carried out by the International Relations Office within the new structure. The International Relations Coordination Commission was created with the participation of the Office Coordinators (The Farabi Coordinator, the EU Education and Youth Programme Coordinator, the Bologna Process Vice-Coordinator, the International Cooperation and Publicity Coordinator, and the Mevlana Coordinator), as well as the Head of the Registrar's Office, the Head of the Department of Health, Culture and Sports, and the Head of the Student Council. Meetings of the Board, which will be chaired by the Vice-Rector responsible for International Relations Prof. Dr. Muharrem KILIÇ, will be held once a month. The minutes of the International Relations Coordination Board will be submitted to the Rector’s Office every other month. The Internationalization Strategy Council (ISC) has also been established within the structure of the International Relations Office, and is expected to take on a very important role in the internationalization process of our university. In the restructuring of the International Relations Office, the Internationalization Strategy Council is expected to play a crucial role in the internationalization process of our university. The aims of the Council are to identify and direct the internationalization strategy of our University, and to contribute to the work of the International Relations Office. The members of the Internationalization Strategy Council will be selected from the academic staffs of the Faculties and Schools of Akdeniz University, who wish to voluntarily contribute their expertise to help define the effective Internationalization Strategy needed to become a world class University. The Internationalization Strategy Council, meeting under the presidency of Vice-Rector Prof. Dr. Muharrem Kılıç, is expected play a crucial role in our University’s Internationalization Strategy. Selection of the members of the Internalization Strategy Council is currently in progress, and once the process is complete the Council will meet once during each academic semester, after which the minutes of the meetings will be submitted to the Rector. The institutional structuring of the International Relations Office, European Union Education and Youth Programmes, International Cooperation and Publicity, the Bologna Process, the Farabi Programme and the Mevlana Programme has enabled us to define the positions and roles of the staff members, as well as the institutional identity and the aims of the Internationalization Strategy Council and the International Relations Coordination Council. An office logo has been designed in order to establish and promote our new identity, and the form and distribution of the facilities of the International Relations Office is rapidly taking shape. With so much work having been completed, the development of the webpages of the International Relations Office is our next priority. Topics which can be found on our webpages include information on the Erasmus, Farabi, and Mevlana Programmes, the Bologna Process, European Union Education and Youth Programmes, IAESTE, Joint Diploma Programmes, as well as other documents dealing with internationalization, relevant forms, announcements, and the minutes of meetings. The International Relations Office webpage was activated as part of the university’s main webpage on September 17th 2012. Information is available in both Turkish and English at present, while work on pages in Russian, French and Chinese will start in the forthcoming semester.
