Dr. Amjad Abu El-Ezz Concludes his Fellowship in KAICIID International Fellows Program 2019

Dr. Amjad Abu El-Ezz from the Political Sciences Department recently concluded his fellowship in the International Center for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue (KAICIID) International Fellows Program 2019. The graduation ceremony took place in Vienna, Austria where Dr. Abu El-Ezz completed one year training.
KAICIID is an intergovernmental organization whose mandate is to promote the use of dialogue globally to prevent and resolve conflict to enhance understanding and cooperation.
The KAICIID Fellows Program brings together leaders and educators from Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and other religious backgrounds from around the world for training in dialogue facilitation, intercultural communication and promoting social cohesion by KAICIID experts. The program equips Fellows with the skills to educate their students and communities about interreligious dialogue so they can become facilitators and leaders in the dialogue and active peace advocates in their communities.
During his participation, Dr. Abu El-Ezz submitted his initiative titled: "The Palestinian Academic Alliance for Interfaith Dialogue", which was launched in collaboration with the Faculty of Islamic Law at An-Najah University and Bethlehem Bible College.
He also participated in a training about dialogue for achieving sustainable development goals and met with the founding Secretary General of KAICIID Mr. Faisal bin Muaammar to discuss possible means of future collaboration between An-Najah University and KAICIID.
It is worth mentioning that Dr. Abu El-Ezz is the first Palestinian to join the Program, which qualifies An-Najah University to be part of it for the coming years and submit future research and training projects.
