FOREWORD

Life-Link Friendship-Schools Programme is a unique global network established to

disseminate the culture of peace and reinforce the humanistic, ethical, cultural and
international dimensions of peace. It also contributes to the enhancement of education
for sustainable development toward the achievement of the goals of U N D E S D . This
seminar aims to strengthen the coordination between both organizations working to build
up the pilot project (Culture of Care-^Culture for Peace).

Networking and partnership between schools in different countries and regions is

promoted to facilitate projects addressing a vital concern of our time, and to allow youth
to take an active role in increasing our c o m m o n security. Youth are n o w urged to
undertake small, practical lectures (caring and sharing peace actions) that will, as an
ultimate goal, protect our planet Earth.

I hope that this regional workshop has defined some key actions to disseminate the
culture of peace (culture of care) all over the Arab Region and, as programmed, all over
the world in future actions. The U N E S C O Office A m m a n is ready to strengthen and
spread the ideals of ASPnet and Life-Link in Jordan and in the Arab Region.

1. Introduction

Youth and schools communication, dialogue and collaboration across national and
cultural borders are parts of shaping a n e w international and global security. The n e w
millennium is the perfect time for initiating concrete and positive actions to take place at
schools worldwide.

The Life-Link program inspires youth at schools world-wide to take an active and
responsible role in increasing a Comprehensive and C o m m o n Security, realizing that
longstanding local and international security can only be built through citizen diplomacy
and constructive collaboration. Youth at schools undertake short-term, concrete Life-
Link caring and sharing actions that will, as an ultimate goal, bring sustainability to our
living room, Planet Earth. Life-Link has introduced the concept of "care" in order to
m a k e "peace" more oriented to individuals. T o Care for Myself, to Care for Others and
to Care for Nature clarifies one's role in society and towards nature.

The ASPnet - Life-Link Project will involve public community schools as well as private
schools, thus bringing youth from different socio-economic backgrounds together in a
c o m m o n program. This program will discuss vital concerns for survival that w e all must
engage in and take back to our h o m e communities.

2. Background of ASPnet - Life-Link Pilot Project

2.1 Introducing the Pilot Project. In this proposed six month pilot project, schools,
teachers and students in ASPnet schools in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, O m a n , Palestine
and Egypt will share in this project. The pilot project is expected to enhance the role
of the ASPnet and Life-Link Friendship-Schools Programme by generating greater
understanding and fostering collaboration for common security in the n e w
millennium. This c o m m o n goal will be achieved through social and environmental
actions and within the framework of the U N Decade for Education for Sustainable
Development ( U N D E S D ) , the Decade for Culture of Peace and the Decade for Water
for Life and U N Millennium Development Goals ( M D G s ) .

2.2 T h e Objective of this Project. T o promote cross cultural communication

amongst youth and schools, including dialogue and collaboration based on the
UNESCO ASPnet in the Middle East and the Life-Link Friendship-Schools
Programme and global school-network. A Euro-Mediterranean dimension will be
introduced as well. O n a higher level, schools' communication and constructive
collaboration across national and cultural borders will be a contribution to an

4
 international security, a comprehensive c o m m o n security that includes environmental
concerns.

2.3 U N E S C O ' s Decade for Culture of Peace (2001-2010) a n d W a t e r for Life

(2005- 2014)

In 1997, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the year 2000 as the
International Year for the Culture of Peace; and in 1998, the same Assembly declared
the period 2001-2010 the International Decade for Culture of Peace and N o n -
Violence for the Children of the World. The focus of the year and decade will be to
promote the implementation of a culture of peace at local, national, regional and
international levels and to ensure that governments will be world leaders.

The culture of peace is peace in action. Introducing such a culture is a long-term

process that requires both a transformation of institutional practices and individual
modes of behavior. Finally, in order to survive and become entrenched in our values,
a culture of peace requires non-violence, tolerance and solidarity.

The Water for Life Decade was launched on the 22 n d of March 2005. The challenge
of the decade is to focus attention on action-oriented activities and policies that
ensure the long-term sustainable management of water resources, in terms of both
quantity and quality, and include measures to improve sanitation.

3. Methodology

The regional workshop for ASPnet National Coordinators and Life-Link Friendship-
Schools Programme, organized in close collaboration with the Ministry of Education,
was constructed according to the following format:

(i). A n organizing committee w a s assembled comprising of staff from the Ministry of

lead to a far reaching networking between schools, students and teachers in this region as
well as other regions of the world.

She emphasized that Sweden has a long tradition of grass-root engagement and there is a
great interest among young people to partake in international development and to care for
peace and the environment. This genuine will to contribute to change is likewise
demonstrated by all the participants from a variety of countries taking part in today's
workshop and in the Culture of Care - Culture for Peace project.

(iv). Speech of D r . H a n s Levander, C h a i r m a n of the Life- Link Friendship-Schools

Programme

Dr. Hans Levander welcomed the distinguished guests and participants and introduced
the three prominent qualities of the Life-Link Friendship-Schools Programme. The first
quality is the Life-Link Ethics of Care: each individual must care for him/herself, care for
other people and individuals, and care for the earth's resources. These ethics were
identified by U N E S C O Office A m m a n in December 2006, and have established the
foundation of the present Life-Link and U N E S C O ASPnet pilot project.

The second quality includes the Life-Link concrete program with proposed lessons or
peace/care actions within the ethics mentioned above. The program was discussed at the
Life-Link and U N E S C O workshop in A m m a n in M a y 2007 that welcomed U N E S C O
national coordinators from the region as participants.

A third quality of the Life-Link is the global network of youth, teachers and schools using
the Life-Link program. Fifty of these schools n o w join the ongoing pilot project.

Dr. Hans Levanderfinishedhis speech by extending greetings to workshop participants

sent from countries such as Chile, Argentina, Ghana, Iran, India, Australia, Russia,
Romania, Germany and Sweden.

Poster Presentations from Delegates:

The delegates organized their posters and the other products (research, magazines, artistic
