• World Refugee Day: Marked by the theme "Hope Away from Home," this day honored the resilience and optimism of refugees striving for a stable and dignified future.
• Empowering Each Other: United for Change: This EU-funded initiative, in collaboration with the Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD), equipped young Jordanians and Syrians with the skills for civic engagement and social protection, fostering community development and participation.
• Economic Empowerment Initiatives: The Entrepreneurship Training Program in Madaba was notable, which successfully empowered women to initiate business ventures, contributing to regional economic development.
