Our Work

Lebanon

SFCG-Lebanon sees Lebanon's diversity as a resource for cooperation. Working on the national and local levels, with government, civil society, education and media partners, SFCG-Lebanon envisions a world where dealing with conflict non-violently and working for reconciliation is the norm.

Since it opened its office in Beirut in 2008, SFCG has aimed at engaging primary conflict acotrs (e.g. media, public sector) to strengthen the role they can play in countering sectarianism. Specifically, SFCG has been implementing projects wtih Lebanese youth to help transform the next generation's approach to conflict.
