Everyone felt comfortable speaking up, discovering themselves and others, and determining their place in the organization through their personal values and the shared values of the team, therefore, the workshop created a sense of teamwork and fostered a supportive environment within the workplace.

I've had the privilege of working with Mahmoud Ramadan / Playmaker since the beginning of the Syrian conflict. His visionary thinking and 360 degree perspectives led to many groundbreaking innovations in a devastating unfolding conflict that caused unmeasurable human suffering. The CSI/SI that he jointly designed and initiated, launched "peace assets" networks and created "echo system" which opened new windows and possibilities for civil society interventions during the conflict.
