The future association, organized a dialogue initiative (enhancing a culture of non-violence) in partnership with  Pal-Think and FXB France.

Enhancing a culture of non-violence initiative was opened by Mr Ahmad Alsedaa, who is a specialized trainer in topics related to dialogue and peace. The workshop stressed the concept, nature, forms, causes of violence, negative and influential effects on the individual, community relations, and family and society. The workshops also focused on the issues of promoting dialogue and community peace, plus keeping away from differences and causes, as they discussed the culture of non-violence and its importance in society.

In addition, the workshop included a range of field activities in the town of Azzun which targeted children by distributing a set of messages to children and people about promoting a culture of non-violence.

Moreover, Mohammed Salim, director of the future association for Youth capacity Development, stressed this initiative comes in concert with the efforts of  Pal Think Foundation for Strategic Studies in promoting a Non-violence Culture. He added, the initiative included launching a children’s competition in Qalqilya governorate to promote and disseminate a culture of non-violence.
