General Information
The Arab Education Forum as a project was founded by Dr. Munir Fasheh in 1998 under the umbrella of the Contemporary Arab Studies Program at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University – USA with a regional office in Jordan. In May 2006 an NGO was registered in Jordan by Munir Fasheh and Serene Huleileh to sustain the work and vision of AEF. The three main funders for AEF since 1999 have been the Kuwait based Arab Fund for social and economic development, The Ford Foundation – Cairo office and the Boston based Khudari foundation. Currently, 9 staff members are employed and our work is conducted in partnership with several NGOs in the Arab world. Annual budget is around $ 100,000.
Mission and Objectives

The mission of AEF is to contribute to an Arab cultural regeneration project that springs out of the inherent knowledge and experiences within the Arab societies. AEF constantly attempts to develop a shared vision related to learning in the Arab world; a vision that springs out of authentic initiatives which start with and build on what people do and what culture has.

Main Projects / Activities

1. The Safar youth mobility fund aims to support young Arabs aged 15 – 35 who are involved in youth initiatives to travel within the Arab world to participate in apprenticeships, internships, training workshops and/or meetings with other youth initiatives to exchange and learn and construct knowledge as a group based on individual experiences. (www.safarfund.org) 2. Azkadunya or the other Arabia attempts to promote, market and distribute Arab non-commercial cultural production through a website and other means. (www.azkadunya.com) 3. Al Jami3ah project aims at providing settings for learning within life embodied by apprenticeships, exchanges, meetings, and building knowledge out of reflections on personal and communal experiences.
