Our Theory of Change is based on four interconnected pillars. Our grassroots, feminist, rights-based approach, focused on the excluded majority and rooted in critical and creative thought, crosscuts all four pillars. With this change logic, we believe we make a critical contribution to the necessary infrastructures and drivers of change for transformative justice and lasting peace.
Activism & Civil Society
Supporting grassroots activism and the broader civil society to shift power to the Syrian people. The end goal of this support is for the people to attain and protect their rights, participate in decision-making, and most importantly drive change.
Memory and Oral History
Preserving memory and platforming underrepresented perspectives and experiences to help build a Syrian historical narrative that is centred around, and authored by, the Syrian people and reflecting the diverse and untold stories, conducive to healing and regaining agency
Knowledge Production
Supporting locally produced and owned knowledge as the theoretical and evidence base for decolonial articulations and knowledge base building Syria’s future.
Reimagining
The current thought archetypes and international peace and development systems proved to be not fit for purpose. Rethinking and conceptualising sociopolitical frameworks, state-building, transitional justice and peacebuilding processes, is therefore a prerequisite for fundamental transformation that can produce future proof solutions.
