  • Project Idea

    Because of the ongoing war on the city of Taiz, which led to the absence of the local authority role, the educational process was stopped, and students joined armed groups and have been deprived of education. Yet, despite the return of the educational process, the thoughts of violent extremism still affect the student and his behavior up to now, especially since there are those who have been injured or lost their family or a teacher, or a friend. In addition, the educational process came back with a role-weakness. Therefore, this initiative worked to reduce extremism within schools in the targeted areas.

  • Goal

    Reviving the values of community peace and renunciation of violence among the student community in Al-Mudhaffar District, Taiz Governorate

  • Impact

    Raising the level of the target beneficiaries in conflict resolution skills and mitigating violence, raising awareness on the importance of peace in the educational environment, communicating positive messages and increasing students’ participation in extra-curricular activities that serve the process of dialogue and peace.
