AMMAN “” Rasheed for Integrity and Transparency (Transparency International - Jordan) on Monday launched the second phase of the "Integrity School“ project, supported by the German Federal Foreign Office, through the Zivik Funding Programme of the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (ifa), a German organisation for international cultural relations.

The second phase aims to create a generation of young people who understand the concepts of human rights, democracy, conflict resolution and combating corruption, among other skills that help build leaders who will bring change to society, according to the organisers.

The "Integrity School“ project is held in Wadi Rum, and in this phase a new group of youth will be taught the concepts of corruption, its types and how to combat it, with a focus on the role of civil society organizations. It also aims to enhance their understanding of integrity, transparency and accountability, Rasheed said in a statement sent to The Jordan Times.

The training will include sessions related to conflicts, their resolution, prevention as well as skills and tools to bring peace through dialogue, in addition to skills related to lobbying. These programmes aim at enabling the young generation to become leaders in their communities and create change, the statement said.
