Consultations with Youth from Refugee and Jordanian Communities | Arabic

On June 19, 2017, in commemoration of World Refugee day, the MSCND Jordan network members marked this special day by leading youth-oriented focus group discussions (FGD) with a number of Syrian, Iraqi and Sudanese refugee youth, as well as with youth members from Jordanian host communities. The founding members of the Jordan Civil Society Network for Displacement consist of key national NGO actors mainly represented by Jordan River Foundation, Noor Al Hussein Foundation/Institute for Family Health, ARDD/Legal Aid and the Jordanian National Commission For Women. Academia is represented by membership of the German Jordan University and the University Of Jordan Centre for Strategic Studies. Education is prioritized as a key theme by the Jordan network in 2017, in line with the Jordan Response Platform for the Syria Crisis (2017-2019), a comprehensive national response linking short-term coping solutions with longer-term initiatives aimed at strengthening local and national resilience capacities. The Jordan Response Platform reflects the commitments taken by Jordan and the international community in the Jordan Compact and is aligned to global, regional and national education priorities detailed in the 3RP Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan, UNHCR’s Global Education Strategy, and United Nations Sustainable Development - Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning.
