Programs
Membership
Activities
involve a wide range of ages. This year, the YWCA offered a variety
of recreational sessions, in handicrafts, aerobics and children’s
programs at low cost to the general public. Social gatherings were
also organized to attract new members.
Awareness and community building:
in the context of the United Nations International Year for the
Culture of Peace – 2000, Jbeil (ancient
Byblos) being one of the oldest cities in the world, was selected
as one of the foster homes for this event.
Since
then, Jbeil YWCA is concentrating its efforts on promoting peace
education and a life without violence, in lectures, workshops
and gatherings at the YWCA center, around related issues. This
is being done in collaboration with the local municipality and
UNESCO.
