My Community

“My Community” project or (Mujtama’i) in Arabic aims to establish links between the Jordanian and Syrian refugees and their communities, as well as strengthen resilience mechanisms of refugees through psychosocial support and expression through art, especially for those most vulnerable.

Implemented in partnership with the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), from October 2015 till October 2016, The project aims to enhance civil society actors (women and children from refugees and host communities) as promoters and defenders of human rights in their communities by enhancing their social and legal capabilities.

Four community programs (two in Zarqa and two in Sahab) were implemented by ARDD. They merged 3 different components: Art and education session for children and adolescents, Psychosocial support and legal empowerment sessions and Joint sessions for adolescents and mothers to learn about the principles of active civic engagement in the context of their communities.
