2024 Outstanding Peace Organization

Mobaderoon started working in Syria in 2010 before the war started to promote leadership and active citizenship.

When the war started, Mobaderoon was able to maintain neutrality and support youth in different areas in the country. It started its peacebuilding program in 2013 “the peace ambassadors”. The organisation was able to promote diversity and mutual understanding between diverse Syrian and multiple backgrounds and political orientations.

Mobaderoon supports more than 180 social action projects in Syria, and more than 24 grassroots organisations working towards peace building. Mobaderoon was the first organisation to talk about peacebuilding in Syria in 2013 and it promoted the concept in the country, motivating and advocating for accepting each other and working together for the future of Syria.

Mobaderoon follows – in all of its work – approaches developed to empower individuals and groups with specialized knowledge that fits their local needs and enables them to activate their roles within their communities and their various fields of work.

“The environment is like walking on a minefield. These mines could be societal, political or related to the security of individuals. [Which is why] justice is imperative in the peacebuilding process.”
