Tired of uninspiring education that expects you to sit down and shut up?

Our team of professional trainers are specialized in facilitating courses that revolutionize the concept of traditional education. At Global Platform Jordan we believe in learning that is:

Participatory (People are expected to participate, be active and share their experiences)

Experience based (We practice what we learn, and learn from practice - 50% theory and 50% practice)

Fun (Expect hard work and seriousness, BUT mixed with meeting new amazing people, playing games and having fun!)

our meThods

Global Platform Jordan is more than a training centre. It also functions as a “social activist hub” where young people, regardless of their back-grounds, come together and exchange ideas for new projects.

You are always most welcome at the Platform where you will find an international, creative and open minded atmosphere. Being a place where young people live and learn, something is always happening, such as: movie and documentary screenings, debates, cultural events, workshops and much more. The Global Platform is part of ActionAid’s Arab Region Program and work-ing together with ActionAid’s youth network, ACTIVISTA. In collaboration with ActionAid’s Arab Region Program we arrange courses and trainings for local and regional organisations throughout MENA.
