Vision We dream to live in country where differences (of all types) are respected and endorsed in laws, and where citizens are treated equally without discrimination of all type. Mission / Strategic Objectives We seek to abolish all types of discrimination from Lebanese laws, using advocacy and lobbying, modernizing and developing the laws, as well as supporting law enforcement mechanisms, and through strengthening accountability. NAHNOO promotes mutual respect among youth in Lebanon, across psycho social constraints and cultural differences, through developing their life skills, and lobbying to increase the number of public spaces of interaction, and cultural exchange programs, within and outside of Lebanon. NAHNOO promotes equality in citizenship rights and obligations with youth at schools and universities, public and private, through developing the current educational curriculum, rehabilitation of infrastructure and training of staff.
We work mainly with four key topics: Advocacy to reclaim Public Spaces in Lebanon Youth Empowerment through Workshops and Advocacy Work Cultural Exchange Good Governance and Citizen Participation in Local Decision-Making
By sharing our experiences with other organisation. By bringing our expertise and work together in national and international coalitions on the same cause or adding our point of view to help others to overcome the challenges they are tackling.
NAHNOO wants to create synergies with other organisation on a national as well as on an international level. We want to learn from other people's/organisations' experiences and share our knowledge with them. We hope to extend our outreach as well as the impact of our actions while being well connected in the ALF Network.
