The Arab Education Forum is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization active in the Arab World in the field of community and youth work. The mission of AEF is to contribute to an Arab cultural regeneration project that springs out of the inherent knowledge and experiences within the Arab societies. AEF constantly attempts to develop a shared vision related to learning in the Arab world; a vision that springs out of authentic initiatives which start with and build on what people do and what culture has. It starts with the premise that people are builders of meaning, understanding, knowledge, cultural expressions and social groups.

 The Arab Education Forum works on 4 different themes:

1. Promoting Arab youth initiatives through the “Safar youth mobility fund”: www.safarfund.org.


2. Reclaiming the importance of the story/narrative in art, learning and life through the Hakaya network and project: www.hakaya.org.


3. An electronic resource center and marketing outlet for educational and cultural NGO production in the Arabic language: www.theotherarabia.com.


4. Constant formal and informal dialogue and exchange through meetings, seminars, and apprenticeships on education and learning through the concept of Al Jami3ah: www.almoultaqa.com/aljami3ah.

 The Arab Education Forum is registered as an NGO in Palestine since August 2005 and a non-profit company in Jordan since 2006 and is governed by an independent board in each country but shares an advisory board from different countries (Rifaq ad Darb).

 The Arab education forum depends on a number of volunteers , international and regional organizations  to best utilize available resources.  AEF also depends financially on its resources and on individual and institutions donations.
