Community Outreach: Wi'am is committed to meeting the needs of the
community, to help the people resolve their problems and instill a sense joy.
The work of Wi’am represents a grass roots approach to the urgent needs
of the people .As we continue to train local persons in mediation skills, one
unique aspects of our work is that approximately 20% of our expanses are
covered by over 100 local volunteers who give not only their time, but also
offer hospitability and the use of their phones and vehicles .
Wi’am found that conflict resolution is the art of sharing our selves, our
resources, our minds and hearts with others.
Wi'am conducts trainings through workshops on various issues related
to conflict. Individuals (women, businessmen, teachers, students,
government officials, security forces) from the community participate in
the workshops.

At first, the different types of democracies that are in place

elements of a society are open to discussion. Through the
discussion, key points related to 'human rights' are highlighted
at the core of a democracy.
