Diwanieh
Diwanieh is an initiative that aims to transfer the political and social discussions from the elitist political and social saloons and ateliers to the street. By training youth on debate skills and organising public debates on controversial issues in unconventional arenas we ensure the participation of people from different socio-economic backgrounds and ideologies. We train youth and provide them the opportunity to critically debate sensitive topics in public spaces.
In Diwanieh, we aspire to introduce the new model of public debate and dialogue to the grassroots level. We see a colorful painting, where people from different age, backgrounds, socio-economic classes gather and discuss their issues in public in an organised and civilized atmosphere. We see it as an open platform for youth to practice public and persuasive speaking. We see it as a documentation mechanism for the Jordan political and social history.
