In keeping with the aim of ongoing collaboration with the Abbara 06 organizations, the program team organized an online working day for the participant organizations on 12 August, 2021. The purpose was to foster peer exchange between 11 organizations to share the experiences they endured under the successive lockdowns and other such current circumstances, and the consequent challenges they faced while implementing their strategic plans for 2021.

 

During the meeting, participants took turns giving presentations on the development of their particular organization and the challenges it encountered. After the presentations, the floor was open to comments and questions from the participants. The session was facilitated by the researcher, trainer and cultural programmer Rana Yazaji (Syria), who is a member of Culture Resource’s Artistic Board.
