MENA JAM CC (Middle East & North Africa Youth Leadership Jam)

Our purpose is to create a platform for MENA Jam alumni to continue interconnecting and networking, taking tools and experiences from the gathering and bringing them into their daily lives.

The Middle East & North Africa Youth Leadership Jam (MENA Jam) CC is a network of diverse young and enthusiastic change-makers who are engaged and committed leaders from across the MENA region (including: Palestine, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, United Arab Emirates, Tunisia, Lebanon, Algeria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Iraq) who are active in movements for sustainability, peace, interfaith dialogue, environment, human rights, women's rights, social justice, refugee support, trauma recovery, etc. All members of the MENA Jam CC have shared the same deep and powerful experience of participating in or facilitating, a 7 day intensive Jam, and are interested in carrying this work forward in the MENA region. The MENA Jam creates a unique space for deep listening, sharing, self-discovery, systemic inquiry and community building. It allows for authentic dialogue about each participant's struggles and dreams, and about the challenges and opportunities facing the region through the eyes of individual stories and experiences.
