FDCD invites individuals from diverse backgrounds, divided by conflict and trapped behind walls of fear and hatred, to open their hearts and minds and experience the world through each other’s eyes.

By bringing them together in safe spaces—whether in mediation rooms, conferences, sports fields, or nature—we foster positive encounters, strong bonds and mutual understanding. We believe that when people truly connect, it’s impossible for them to remain unchanged or indifferent.

These connections create networks of solidarity, transforming attitudes, restoring trust, and inspiring collective action toward a future grounded in justice, dignity, and peace.

"La2 mch rawa2"
Countering hate speech campaign

In a country where “Rawa2” — often used to say “it’s okay, let it slide” — has become a way to dismiss discomfort and avoid confrontation, our campaign challenges this passive silence. With hate speech steadily rising in Lebanon — from media reports where over 50% of content about marginalized groups includes hateful framing, to online spaces where women and LGBTQ+ individuals are frequent targets — harmful stereotypes are no longer just words. They are being instrumentalized for political gain, shaping public opinion and fueling real-world violence. This campaign is an invitation to feel again — to recognize how the small biases we grow up with can grow into walls of hate and fear. One “Rawa2” at a time, we can begin to unlearn, speak up, and rebuild a culture rooted in empathy and shared humanity.
