On October 17, 2024, the BaBe association hosted a Syrian delegation as part of a study visit organized as part of the project "Education for Peacebuilding", in cooperation with the EuroMed Feminist Initiative (EFI) and the Duderi organization. The visit aimed to exchange knowledge, experiences and best practices between Croatia and Syria in the field of education and peacebuilding. The delegation consisted of Dina Aboul Hosn, Sabiha Khalil, Alise Mofrej, Alice Chempf, Doris Awwad, Dania Yakoub, Naz Hami and Louise Bouzar. All participants have many years of experience working on education and peacebuilding in Syria. The representatives of the BaBe association presented an overview of their activities to promote gender equality in education, with a special emphasis on projects aimed at youth and human rights education. They particularly highlighted the experiences from Croatia in advocating for gender-sensitive education policies. The Syrian delegation showed interest in the specific challenges Croatia has faced in implementing gender-sensitive education initiatives and ways of engaging with decision-makers in this field. They discussed how these examples could be adapted and applied in the Syrian context. The importance of education as a tool for fostering peace and stability, especially in conflict-affected societies, was highlighted.
