As part of the project's implementation strategy, a model of multiplesectoral partnerships was created between Sting, the British Council, the Ministry of Youth, and youth initiatives that work on promoting effective dialogue, peace building, and reconciliation. In order to achieve the project’s objectives, Sting for Consultancy design a training module on promoting dialogue and intercultural diversity that is being delivered in two forms: firstly, residential 5-day youth camp, and secondly, 3-day cascade workshop.

Client: British Council
NilFurat: Project aiming at the economic empowerment of 70 refugee and host community women through a business model of a labeled product which is controlled in quality. The project engaged Egyptian master craftsmen in quilting to create a modernized product through a refined blend of refugees’ stories, drawings and traditional materials. It is intended that the product will bring together skills, symbols, traditional craftsmanship, stories and tools of expression of Egyptians and refugees in Egypt. The process of interaction, expression through art and production stimulated inter-cultural dialogue. It further gave necessary recognition of individuality and heterogeneity which are capable of cross-cultural communication.
