نختتم سلسلة حوارات "متجذرون من أجل المستقبل" في طرابلس! على مدار 8 جلسات، اجتمع أكثر من 50 شابًا من طرابلس لاستكشاف تراث مدينتهم، والتأمل في جذورهم وانتمائهم، واكتشاف كيف يمكن للثقافة أن توحد المجتمعات.

Through interactive methods, including icebreakers and music, the training created strong momentum and engagement. With the guidance of a dedicated consultant trainer, participants expressed great interest in peacebuilding and active involvement in dialogue processes.

The historic setting provided the perfect environment to strengthen group cohesion and positive dynamics among the youth participants.

The Rooting for the Future project - implemented with our partners @KofiAnnanFdn, @iecdlebanon , @PPMLebanon, @MocLebanon and with support from @ALIPHFoundation - recently held three facilitator trainings at the Citadel of Tripoli.

Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and the youth left the session motivated and eager to continue their journey as facilitators of change. #Youthforsocialchange #Lebanon #CitadelofTripoli
