Zaytoon organizes a weekly dialogue conferences
aiming not only to give information or teaching, but it aims also to improve
attendees communication skills, activate
the youth role, create a social network, build bridges and open doors between
all the different political sides, improve the researching skills and to raise the
awareness and understanding for the very basic concepts such as: democracy,
Human rights…etc. These series of conferences started in December 2012 in Cairo. The conferences are going perfectly, there were many topics and issues we could open, understand and discus such as (democracy as a way to freedom - transition justice - civil society role - and many other issues) What is special and amazing about the weekly conferences they are all prepared and presented to public by young educated Syrians whom are accepted by everyone and this is what gave us in Zaytoon the chance to 1- Gather all or most of the Syrian political orientations. 2- Gave the young the chance to have a voice and to speak it up in front of the expert and politicians. 3- Prepared the Syrian young people somehow to speak in public. 4- Improved very much the way of communication between the attenders and this we could notice clearly with time. 5- Developed the skills of communication, researching for
many young Syrians who were not used to research or to communicate with other
people who have other opinions 6- These conferences could rise up the respect to other’s opinion and make them accepted by all. 7- Provided many people with very useful information regarding to the title which were all pretty much the same as your office aim "election systems - democracy building - exchange and dialogue - laws and constitution understanding - human rights - civil society organizations- intellectual property - the women role in society - and many other issues regarding to the rebuilding of society, economy, health system, Infrastructure and political life.
