Forum for Development and Human Rights Dialouge (Moltaka)
What is FDHRD?
register no.6337/ 2005 Maddi- Cairo - Forum for Development and Human Rights Dialogue (FDHRD) is a non-profit non-governmental organization. The executive regulations of FDHRD is subject to Law No. 84 of 2002 on NGOs and private enterprises.The FDHRD is established with a view to contributing to the civil efforts aiming at affecting positive changes in the society and the media in order to develop the political, social and cultural aspects in the society. FDHRD believes that development and human rights complement each other. There would be no development with the lack of legislations and laws that equalize among the individuals in a certain society. Likewise, there would be no development in the absence of the guarantees of the freedom of opinion and expression. Human rights, in turn, prospers in case development efforts succeed in eliminating poverty, realizing economic and social equality among individuals and increasing their awareness of the rights and how to claim such rights.Accordingly, FDHRD activities would tackle entrenching participation, with respect to political development. As for cultural development, FDHRD will work on improving the set of values in order to disseminate the culture of diversity and acceptance of the other. Regarding economic and social development i.e. increasing opportunities of economic independence, in order to create a society including empowered citizens qualified for political, cultural and social participation in the modernization efforts. Hence, the whole society would benefit from the outcomes of modernization, unlike the status quo where a small bracket of the society interact with the rest of the society and the outside world. However, the vast majority of the citizens surrender to being marginalized and inability to participate in the societal affairs.Therefore, FDHRD is an initiative for addressing the grass roots to turn the majority of the inactive citizens into being positive, active and qualified for political, societal and cultural participation.
Furthermore, FDHRD addresses the elite in order to push the intellectual system towards the culture of development and human rights and widening the scope of citizen participation.
FDHRD Objectives:
- Working on the enhancement of freedom of expression allowing the freedom of access to, dissemination and transfer of information and ideas by all means and in accordance with the human rights instruments.
- Enhancing the improvement of the intellectual system towards promotion of the culture of diversity and acceptance of the other.
- Disseminating the culture of citizenship identifying all rights and duties and the necessity of eliminating all forms of discrimination based on sex or religion.
- Disseminating civil culture through establishing a media group working on the enhancement of intellectual enlightenment and ethical diversity to counter the violence media and political, religious and humanitarian incitement.
- Entrenching citizen participation in managing the local affairs and increasing the awareness of participation in decision making.
- Working on the improvement of the legislative structure hindering the citizens from their right to know.

The Willy Brandt Center for Communication and Encounters in Jerusalem
 The Concept of the Willy Brandt Center Jerusalem (WBC) was originally developed as a trilateral project in an agreement signed in 1996, by the German Young Socialists (JUSOS), the Palestinian Young Fateh (Shabeebet Fateh) and the Israeli Young Labor Leadership (Mishmeret Tseirah shel Mifleget Ha-Avoda). Recognizing the need of cooperation and believing in a common vision of peace, the three parties decided upon the founding of a common center, the CEC-J. They agreed that this center should serve as a place of open communication and encounters for Palestinian, German and Israeli youth and young adults. Since the year 2000, a total of four German Civil Peace Servants were sent under the umbrella of the forumZFD (Forum Civil Peace Service) in order to help implementing this idea.
The WBC was officially inaugurated in October 2003. Paying reference to the contested status of Jerusalem the WBC is positioned in no man's land between East and West Jerusalem, viewing the Old City as a reminder of past co-existence.
The WBC is supported by a unique team of 10 Israelis, Palestinians and Germans comprised of the three political partners, a representative of Young Yachad and young professionals including facilitators. It is an open house for whoever wishes to come, encounter, listen to lectures, participate in seminars or just drink a cup of coffee with friends or members of the team.
The WBC has kindly made their facilities available to CB activities in Jerusalem.

UNESCO's Participation Programme
 UNESCO's Participation Programme is designed to provide direct assistance to initiatives undertaken by Member States in the Organization's fields of competence, in line with priorities determined by the countries themselves, with proposals submitted via UNESCO National Commissions. The funds are modest (up to a maximum of US$26,000 granted for national project requests, with about six projects per country in each biennium, and up to US$46,000 for regional submissions). But UNESCO is not a funding agency. And support at these sorts of level may often be easier to assimilate than higher orders of financial contribution. As an ensemble, many Participation Programme projects touch on education and capacity building concerns, as reflected in this sampling of projects approved or being carried out from January 2005 onwards.
