DVV International in the Middle East

DVV International started cooperating with partners in the Middle East in 2009. The Regional Office opened in Jordan (Amman) in 2011. A Country Office in Palestine (Ramallah) was established in 2012, followed by a branch office in the Gaza Strip in 2013.
Facing widespread unemployment, especially among people under the age of 25 all over the region, DVV International – together with its partners – strives to empower youth and adults to unfold their potential and engage in economic, political, and social life in their community.
Apart from the work in Jordan and Palestine, DVV International supports regional and international networking all over the Arab World.
Innovative Courses
DVV International supports the development of curricula for innovative courses that help adult learners to find employment, start their own businesses, and engage in their community. The spectrum of courses includes literacy and life skills, business start-up, and vocational training ranging from traditional handcrafts to innovative recycling. The courses build on empowering teaching methods, taking the learners' interests and experience into account and encouraging critical thinking and peaceful conflict resolution.
Qualified Adult Educators
DVV International qualifies teachers and trainers to become certified Adult Educators, who are familiar with the principles and theories of participatory Adult Education and who are able to apply a variety of empowering learning and teaching methods, depending on the learners’ needs and backgrounds. 
Model Adult Education Centers
The key pillars for a functional Adult Education system are institutions that provide courses and development opportunities in line with professional standards. Thus, DVV International supports selected governmental and civil society organizations in establishing Adult Education Centers that can assess labor market opportunities and training needs, reach out to adult learners, offer courses and career orientation sessions, build bridges to income generation for adult learners and facilitate community learning activities. 
Engaged Regional Networks
DVV International facilitates regional networking and advocacy for lifelong learning. To this end, DVV International cooperates with education networks that represent hundreds of civil society organizations all over the Arab World aiming at integrating Adult Education into their portfolio, promoting empowering teaching methods, and strengthening advocacy skills.
