Abouna? "May God pave the way for "abouna.org" to come to you" It is necessary to identify "abouna.org", the site, mission, goals and vision in a few words, so we go by the norm of the websites and say: "abouna.org" came to life in the heart of the Jordanian desert and reached the ends of the Earth by the grace of the Lord and became an intellectual, dialogue, spiritual and humane oasis. Several events are plaguing the world today. What is important is how we view them. "abouna.org" offers a modest contribution to help the vigilant reader how to read in a dignified way. The religion is wide-ranging. It cannot be limited to a collection of dogmas or ideological visions. It is a simultaneous divine illumination on both fertile and arid land, to transform its people from the state of wretchedness to become humane and moderate. In other words, to transform the wretched people into brothers...having faith in "global brotherhood". (Charles de Foucauld) Hence attention is not in a religion at the expense of the other but rather in dialogue among religions, particularly among Christians and Muslims of the world of today. This dialogue has become a vital necessity rather than a luxury in dark nooks of luxury hotels. But the dialogue as it appears in these pages is not a search for coexistence and neighbourhood that may change with the change neighbors and apartments, but rather standing " together before God," and this requires a different kind of courage, namely overture and acceptance of others... always for man. Through dialogue, the presence of Christian Arabs becomes salient. It is not merely a demographic presence, but rather a call and a message on the land of the incarnation and redemption. As for the human rights, which "abouna.org" forcefully defends, it is wide-ranging with the viewpoints in their defence are complex... for a writer could defend them by freeing them from all restrictions and caveats. As for "abouna.org ", its obsession is freedom which ought to be in line with the dignity of man who is in God's image. A variety of cultural topics may be found on the pages of this site. This is aimed at supporting the writers who believe in purity, beauty and art, as "beauty is the factor that saves the world". (Dostoevsky) abouna.org philosophy is based on man, neither on his human nature nor on his points of weakness, but on the power and energy acquired through faith in his Creator and openness to the lofty values of religion which influence every human being. After the events of September and after a lecture to the Pope in a German university, information centres in the West issued documents and news on the Catholic world in Arabic in order to cement more constructive cooperation among religions. "abouna.org" wanted to enter into this arena, and be an Arab voice that emerges from an Arab land. This site does not get satisfied with exposing "a document" – any document... But it wants to present it in its cultural environment and presents it to the Arab reader on a neutral dish . "abouna.org " in Arabic is glory to God and to human dignity ... The essence of proper and healthy media is to be "dedicated to humanity…"
أبــــونا؟ "عسى أن يمهد الله "أبونا" طريقنا إليكم" تقتضي الضرورة أن نعرّف "أبونا" الموقع، الرسالة، الأهداف والرؤية، بكلمات قليلة... لذلك... نرضخعند هذه العادة في المواقع الالكترونية، ونقول: أبونا؟ نشأ من قلب الصحراء الأردنية. ووصل إلى أطراف الأرض بنعمة من الرب. وصار واحة فكرية وحوارية، روحية وإنسانية. أحداث كثيرة تعصف بالعالم اليوم. المهم كيف نقرأها؟ بأي عين ننظر إليها؟ "أبونا" يقدم أسهامهالمتواضع لمساعدة القارئ اليقظ في كيفية قراء الأحداث بعين كرامة الإنسان. أما الدين، فحقوله واسعة، ولا يمكن حصره بمجموعة عقائد أو رؤى فكرية. انه إضاءة إلهية على الأرض الخصبة والقاحلة في آن واحد، ليصبح سكانها البشر الأشقياء أكثر إنسانية ورقّة وأعمق تواصلا واعتدالا. وبكلمة أخرى ليصبح الأشقياء أشقاء... ومؤمنين "بالأخوّة العالمية" (شارل دي فوكو). من هنا الاهتمام ليس بدين على حساب الآخر بالحوار بين الديانات وبخاصة بين مسيحيي عالم اليوم ومسلميه، وقد أمسى هذا الحوار ضرورة حيوية أكثر منه ترفا في زاويا معتمه في الفنادق الفارهة. لكنّ الحوار كما يظهر في هذه الصفحات ليس بحثا عن تعايش وتجاور قد يتغيّر بتغيّر الجيران والشقق السكنيّة، لكنّه وقوف "معا أمام الله"، وهذا يتطلب شجاعة من نوع مختلف... بشقيها: الصراحة والتقبّل... ودائما من أجل الإنسان. ومن خلال الحوار، يبرز حضور العرب المسيحيين، ليس وجودا ديمغرافيا وحسب، بل دعوة ورسالة على أرض التجسد والفداء. أما حقوق الإنسان التي ينبري "أبونا" للدفاع عنها، فحقولها واسعة، ووجهات نظر الدفاع عنها متشعبة... فقد يدافع عنها كاتب، فيدعو إلى تحرّرها وتحريرها من كل القيود والمحاذير. أمّا "أبونا"، فهاجسه الحرية ولكن بما يتلاءم وكرامة الإنسان المفطور على صورة الله و مثاله. وقد تجد أيضا على هذه الصفحات مواضيع ثقافية متنوّعة، والهدف منها تعزيز الأقلام المؤمنة بالنقاء وبالفن والجمال و"الجمال هو الذي يخلص العالم" (دوستيفسكي). تقوم فلسفة أبونا على الإنسان ليس ببشريته ومكامن ضعفه، بل على القوة والطاقة التي ينالها من إيمانه بخالقه ومن انفتاحه على رحابة الدين وعلى القريب الذي هو كل إنسان. بعد أحداث أيلول وبعد محاضرة للبابا في إحدى الجامعات الألمانية، انبرت مراكز إعلامية تصدر في الغرب إلى نشر وثائق وأخبار عن العالم الكاثوليكي باللغة العربية في سبيل مزيد من التعاون والبناء بين الديانات... وأراد "أبونا" أن يدخل في هذا المعترك، وأن يكون صوتا عربيا يخرج من أرض عربية... الا أنّه لا يكتفي بعرض "الوثيقة"- أي وثيقة، لكنّه أيضا يساعد في قراءتها بعين تحليليه، فيضعها في بيئتها الثقافية ويقدّمها للقارئ العربي على طبق حيادي. "أبونا" باللغة العربية... مجدا لله ولكرامة الإنسان... فجوهر الإعلام السليم والصحي أن يكون "من أجل الإنسان..." رئيس التحرير: الأب رفعـت بدر

The Center for Strategic Studies (CSS) was established in 1984 as an academic unit of the University of Jordan concerned mainly with research in the fields of regional conflicts, international relations and security.
With the initiation of the country's democratization process in 1989, the center expanded its scope of activities to include planning and research in such new fields as democracy, political pluralism, the economy and the environment.
Over the past few years, the CSS has organized numerous conferences, seminars and workshops, and has conducted several opinion polls aimed at providing researchers and decision-makers with valuable material and data.

• Adaptive Circular Economy Approach in Schools
Funded by Mitsubishi Corporation, 2023-2024, the project is structured to address critical water challenges in Jordan, which include issues such as water scarcity, limited wastewater treatment, and mounting stress on available water resources. The program encompasses several key activities aimed at mitigating these challenges. These activities involve scaling up water systems to enhance water reuse, thereby increasing agricultural and food production while concurrently expanding community awareness and capacity-building efforts. The initiative focuses on implementing school-level system modifications to enable the reuse of greywater within schools. Additionally, there is an emphasis on testing and implementing system modifications that meet stringent reuse standards, particularly concerning toilet flushing. Furthermore, the program introduces a sustainable business model to generate income by reusing treated greywater for activities like irrigation and the sale of local herbs. To enhance sustainability and environmental responsibility, the project also integrates solar panels and renewable energy solutions with the water treatment systems.

Building upon previous efforts, including the development of a draft national SLCP action plan, the project's objectives include securing government endorsement for the policy analysis and recommendations on SLCP mitigation measures. The key deliverables of the program involve generating target audience reports regarding the adoption of electric cooking technology in the final project survey. Additionally, it seeks to enhance the capacity of the government of Eswatini to raise awareness about the numerous benefits of clean household fuels and technologies, with the ultimate goal of increasing the adoption of electric cooking in households. Furthermore, the project intends to share public awareness-raising materials with interested countries in the region, aiming to promote a higher percentage of electric cooking in regions with similar accessibility levels and among countries keen on improving electricity access.
