Cambridge (Massachusetts) - Comment les Etats-Unis vont-ils garantir, pour les générations futures, une compréhension pluriconfessionnelle, une tolérance plurielle et une cohésion sociale forte entre tous ses citoyens de différentes religions ?
La réponse est simple, radicale, urgente et nécessaire : il faut intégrer un cours de religions du monde dans le programme scolaire des établissements secondaires et des écoles supérieures. L'enseignement de ce cours devrait être obligatoire, au même titre que les mathématiques, la science, l'anglais et les sciences humaines.
Dans notre société, une personne dite instruite ne l'est pas réellement si elle n'a pas quelques notions élémentaires sur l'islam, le christianisme, le judaïsme, le bouddhisme et l'hindouisme. Nous devons rétablir les critères qui définissent ce qu'est une personne « instruite » au 21ème siècle ; cette redéfinition commence par l'école.
Environ 83 pourcent des Américains s'identifient à une religion précise - 78 pourcent se considèrent chrétiens et les 5 pour cent restants sont ceux qui se disent juifs, bouddhistes, musulmans et autres. Actuellement, surtout en ces temps de crise et d'hostilité envers la religion musulmane, les Américains doivent fournir un effort supplémentaire au-delà des représentations superficielles de la religion et entrer volontairement dans le dialogue positif et dans la discussion.
Rien ne vaut l'engagement.
Dans un pays doté de 70 pourcent de la population mondiale - autrement dit de 4, 8 milliards d'habitants se rattachant à une religion précise, apprendre à connaître « l'autre » n'est pas facultatif mais obligatoire, surtout quand on veut poursuivre les idéaux américains et bâtir des passerelles de tolérance entres les nations. Cette connaissance de l'autre fait complètement partie de l'échafaudage de sociétés respectueuses et stables - au niveau national et à l'étranger. Si les Etats-Unis souhaitent continuer à servir d'exemple dans le domaine du pluralisme religieux, ils doivent procéder à un changement radical dans leur système éducatif.
« Quels sont les critères qui définissent une personne instruite aujourd'hui ? Ces critères incluent-ils le fait d'avoir des notions élémentaires sur le monde [musulman] ? Si ce n'est pas le cas, il faut peut-être rectifier cela », avait affirmé son Altesse l'Aga Khan, guide spirituel de tous les musulmans chiites ismaéliens du monde, sur la chaîne National Public Radio. Dans le monde d'aujourd'hui, qui se mondialise continuellement, le contenu de notre système éducatif doit refléter les sociétés locales, régionales, nationales et internationales dans lesquelles nous vivons.
Le système doit aussi nous doter des connaissances nécessaires pour éviter les conflits dus à une mauvaise compréhension de l'histoire, de la culture et de la religion des uns et des autres ; il doit cimenter nos structures sociales, pour qu'elles soient fondées sur un discours intelligent et sur un engagement volontaire, et non pas sur une connaissance superficielle ou une ignorance délibérée - qui, nous le savons, peuvent avoir des conséquences désastreuses.
Imaginez un monde où l'on inculquerait des notions élémentaires sur les grandes religions à tous les étudiants inscrits dans un établissement secondaire ou supérieur des Etats-Unis - ce qui représente plus de 40 millions de personnes. On approfondirait les notions d'histoire, de traditions, de pratiques et de croyances au fil des années d'études. Imaginez ce cycle se perpétuant année après année, après année.
Les résultats seraient extraordinaires : des millions et des millions de bâtisseurs de passerelles en guise d'ambassadeurs de la tolérance et de la compréhension vis-à-vis des autres religions dans leur propre famille, au travail, dans leur communauté et enfin au sein de la nation. Mais ce changement générationnel dans l'éducation, solution à long terme, ne va pas résoudre les problèmes immédiats.
Comme les médias donnent le ton tous les jours en lâchant un pit-bull contre un autre et en débattant des questions d'islam et de politique, de culture et de tradition, selon un schéma très catégorique, c'est finalement la mauvaise perception, la haine et la crainte de la plus haute autorité qui l'emportent sur le dialogue raisonnable et rationnel. Ce faisant, ils ne rendent pas service au public américain et nourrissent au contraire cette intolérance qu'ils cherchent prétendument à vaincre. Les médias sont complices de la mise en danger des concitoyens américains en les exposant à un avenir fait de conflits internes d'ordre religieux - conflits qui coûteront encore davantage de vies américaines.
Dans l'immédiat, il faudrait que de plus en plus de musulmans américains - des imams, des érudits ou de simples fidèles - s'adressent à leurs voisins, à leurs amis, aux communautés qu'ils côtoient pour leur présenter leurs pratiques religieuses et leurs croyances. Nous ne sommes pas une entité monolithique, la pensée et la pratique islamiques ont de multiples facettes.
L'engagement est à deux sens ; les musulmans doivent aussi faire preuve de bonne volonté et tendre la main vers l'autre, pour que le dialogue puisse porter ses fruits. J'appelle justement mes frères et sœurs musulmans à tendre la main et je demande à tous ceux qui se trouvent à l'autre bout de cette main de bien vouloir l'accepter et la tenir.
Eduquons-nous les uns les autres.

DEMENA Youth Pool
DEMENA Youth Pool
As part of MS’ agreement with the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the Danish-Arab Partnership Programme (Det Arabiske Initiativ), MS ActionAid Denmark administrates the DEMENA Youth Pool. The pool is open for applications until December 2011 with a total budget of 4.5 million DKK over three years.
The pool supports cooperation between Danish NGOs and NGOs in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA region) for projects that promote youth participation in democratic reform processes and intercultural understanding.
Projects must incorporate considerations on:
a) how the project promotes dialogue and intercultural understanding between Danish youth and youth from the MENA region
b) how the project promotes the active participation of young women
c) information activities in Denmark on the basis of obtained objectives and insights
Scope of projects
The pool supports projects of two scopes:
* Pilot projects (up to DKK 100 000)
* Partnership projects (up to DKK 1 million)
Who can apply?
Applications must be submitted by the Danish organisation that has developed a joint project proposal with a partner organisation in one or more of the countries in the MENA region. The applicant must be a non-governmental organisation and must not have a commercial purpose. For larger projects the applying organisation must have experience with work in the MENA region or be prepared to hire professional project staff with these skills. There is no limitation as to how many times an organisation can apply for funds from the DEMENA Youth Pool.
Local partner organization
Partnership projects must be prepared, organised and conducted in cooperation with a local partner in the MENA region that has the requisite skills, experiences, and capacity to carry out the activities. The partner must be a non-profit organized group: an association, institution, union, or an organization with the will to lead a dialogue on democratic principles, and the will to promote intercultural understanding. Please note that Pilot projects can be aimed at identifying or establishing a partnership between the Danish organisation and the MENA organisation as well as developing joint capacity to undertake larger joint youth projects.
Requirements to the project
The project must be conducted in one or more of the countries under the Danish-Arab Partnership Programme (Det Arabiske Initiativ). Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and the Occupied Palestinian Territories will be given special consideration, but support can also be given to projects in other countries in the MENA region – Morocco, Yemen, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Iran and Iraq.
The project must be targeted towards a representative group of young people (15-35 year-olds) of both sexes and include both Danes and Arabs (i.e. elements of cultural exchange). There should also be considerations on how to advance young women’s participation in the project.
Organizations applying for support must be actively involved in the project. The pool does not support projects solely conducted by other organizations (e.g. the applicant’s international organization). The applicants must also be willing to participate in coordination meetings with other actors working with young people under the Danish-Arab Partnership Programme.

CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS “Understanding the Global Fund” A training for young activists
The Youth Coalition for Sexual and Reproductive Rights is calling for applications from young advocates to participate in a training on the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria (GFATM).
The Global Fund is the main funder for HIV prevention efforts around the world, reaching almost all the developing countries with millions of dollars every year. The GFATM offers a unique opportunity for civil society to be involved in the decision making processes on the implementation of the grants in recipient countries. However, due to a lack of understanding of how the Global Fund operates, there is a limited participation from civil society organizations led by young people or working for youth.
The main objective of this 3-day training is to provide 15 young activists (18-29 years old) with the knowledge and tools necessary to better understand and get involved in Global Fund mechanisms and structures at the national and international level. The secretariat of the GFATM is a supporting partner of the training.
Where: Cape Town, South Africa
When: May 22-24, 2010
Who: The YC is keen to receive applications from young people who:
* Fall between the ages of 18 – 29
* Are preferably from a developing country (African participants are encouraged to apply)
* Have experience in the area of sexual and reproductive health and rights, particularly HIV
* Basic knowledge on Global Fund process at national level or international level.
* Are affiliated with a youth organisation or an organisation working for young people.
* Have a working knowledge of English and can communicate proficiently in English with other training participants
* Are committed to contribute to the follow up of the training
Applications from young people living with HIV are strongly encouraged.
Notes: Full and partial scholarships will be awarded to selected participants depending on the need.
The cost of visas (transportation and visa fees) will be initially covered by the participant and will then be reimbursed during the training if required.
Please send the application form to events@youthcoaliti on.org before March 26, 2010 along with a recommendation letter from an organization or network that you are currently working with or have worked with in the past.

New York University School of Law is proud to announce the Kauffman Legal Research Fellowship, which will be offered for the second time in the academic year of 2010 - 2011.

The Fellowship is open to law school graduates with the strongest credentials and most exciting ideas.
The Kauffman Legal Research Fellowship Program is being administered by NYU School of Law under the auspices of the Jacobson Leadership Program in Law and Business. Fellows are expected to produce a substantial piece of work during their time at the Law School. A proposed plan for the Fellowship year - specifying the need for the project, goals to be met by the project, how the goals will further the understanding of innovation and growth, and a timeline - will provide the basis for applications.

Scott, Professor of Law, and Gerald Rosenfeld, Clinical Professor of Business at NYU Stern and Deputy Chairman of Rothschild North America. Kauffman Fellows receive a stipend, anticipated to be approximately $45,000 for the coming academic year, as well as health insurance, a conference and book allotment, and space to work in the Law School. The fellowship will be granted to one fellow each year for three years.
A Selection Committee comprised of Law School faculty and members of the Leadership Program's Advisory Board will select the fellows. Projects will be selected for funding based upon the potential of their research to enable a more robust and nuanced understanding of the relationships between law, innovation, and growth. Fellows will be chosen on the basis of their demonstrated academic excellence, their commitment to scholarship and policymaking, and the quality and feasibility of the proposed project.
The application deadline for the Kauffman Legal Research Fellowship is Monday, March 15, 2010. The Fellowship will last for one year, from September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2011. Applications should include: A short statement describing prior experiences that demonstrate applicant's interest in law and entrepreneurship, and aspirations for future work in this area, as well as the Project proposal and plan.

Peace Child International has created the “Be the Change!” Programme (BTC!) to support young people to get involved in local community action and development projects. They aim to encourage young people to BE THE CHANGE they want to see in their communities and to make it possible we created a small scale grant programme for youth-led projects.

As many of you know, we are excited to be offering the second session of POMED's seminar courses for policy professionals this spring, featuring lectures by leading experts on political dynamics in the Middle East and U.S. tools and strategies for supporting reform. However, partly as a result of Snowmaggedon (and Snowmaggedon II), we've decided to push back the start of our spring courses by two weeks. Each course will begin the second week of March and will meet one evening a week, from 7:00-8:30, for 10 weeks. Registration is now open, and each course will be capped at 12 students, so sign up today!
The first course, "Autocratic Persistence: Sources and Varieties of Change," takes an in-depth look at the unique political context and dynamics of political change in the Middle East. This course will meet on Monday evenings beginning the week of March 8.
The second course, "Supporting Democracy in the Middle East: Tools and Strategy," examines the tools and strategies available to U.S. policymakers for encouraging genuine democratic progress, the links between these tools in theory and practice, and the process of policymaking from budgeting to decisions to execution. This course will meet on Wednesday evenings beginning on March 10.
This spring the two courses will be chaired by Marina Ottaway and Scott Carpenter, respectively, and lecturers will include Jim Kolbe, Tom Malinowksi, Rodney Bent, Nathan Brown, and Tom Melia.
More information about both seminar courses, including a full list of topics, lecturers, and recommended readings, is available on our website. Go online to register today -- and please spread the word to others who may be interested!
All the best,
Andrew

"Equality and Justice under the Rule of Law"
The mission of IWP is to use grant-making and programmatic efforts to promote and protect the rights of women and girls in priority areas around the globe where the principles of good governance and respect for the rule
of law are absent or destroyed because of conflict. IWP seeks to promote the advancement of women's rights and gender equality in law and practice, and the empowerment of women to ensure participation in the democratic processes.
FOCUS OF THIS CALL FOR PROPOSALS:

1) Reducing discrimination and violence against women.
IWP seeks to support initiatives that improve the status of women by:

-Strengthening civil society's capacity to hold governments accountable to implement laws.
-Increasing women's capacity to understand and claim rights.
2) Strengthening women's access to justice

and reduce the obstacles to access by ensuring:
-Legal aid, counsel and assistance is available and resourced.
-Judges, lawyers and prosecutors understand and apply gender justice.
