Search for Common Ground

We address conflicts arising within Lebanon’s already diverse society, tensions resulting from the increasing influx of Syrian refugees, security sector reform, and women’s socio-economic empowerment.

Rainbow of Hope - Level 1 Toolkit

English

Steps and Search for Common Ground (SFCG) partnered to work on "Rainbow of Hope - Level 1" toolkit. This conflict resolution curriculum aims to enhance children's ability to deal more effectively with the conflict they meet in their everyday lives, and to use positive coping mechanisms while interacting with others.

The curriculum uses a storytelling learning approach to teach English language and promote conflict transformation principles through two English classes and one recreational activity session each week, for a six-month course. Children are taught conflict transformation skills by being guided through problems and asked to determine what solution is the most appropriate, whilst also learning English at the same time.

The main objectives for Level 1:

Introduce children to basic life skills concepts such as self-esteem, sharing, diversity, friendship, acceptance of differences and non-violent attitudes towards the other and the community.
For children to develop a set of values of behaviour together through a variety of interactive and participatory exercises.
