  • Beyond Cultural Competence. How Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Practitioners’ Perception of Culture Influence Their Work with Syrian Refugees in Amman, Jordan
    Ersta Sköndal högskola Institutionen för socialvetenskap Socionomprogrammet, 210 hp Beyond cultural competence. How mental health and psychosocial support practitioners’ perception of culture influence their work with Syrian refugees in Amman, Jordan. Livia Benson, Heléne Hedberg Examensarbete i socialt arbete, 15 hp SOC63 VT16 Kandidatexamen Handledare: Johan Gärde Examinator: Pelle Åberg Foreword We would like to thank all the practitioners that contributed with their time and valuable insight, enabling us to write this thesis. A special thanks is directed to our friend and local practitioner that helped and supported us a lot throughout the research process. This thesis is dedicated to the Syrian refugees in exile, in hope of returning to their homeland one day. "I Am Syrian" Written by Youssef Abu Yihea Translated by Ghada Alatrash I am a Syrian. Exiled, in and out of my homeland, and on knife blades with swollen feet I walk. I am a Syrian: Shiite, Druze, Kurd, Christian, and I am Alawite, Sunni, and Circassian. Syria is my land. Syria is my identity. My sect is the scent of my homeland, the soil after the rain, and my Syria is my only religion. I am a son of this land, like the olives apples pomegranates chicory cacti mint grapes figs ... So what use are your thrones, your Arabism, your poems, and your elegies? Will your words bring back my home and those who were killed accidentally? Will they erase tears shed on this soil? I am a son of that green paradise, my hometown, but today, I am dying from hunger and thirst. Barren tents in Lebanon and Amman are now my refuge, but no land except my homeland will nourish me with its grains, nor will all the clouds in this universe quench my thirst.

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a monarchy. Its legal order is based on the provisions of the Consti- tution of January 1, 1952. Because of the nature of its cultural and demographic diversity, the King- dom has been affected in terms of legal sovereignty.

  • JORDAN Country Report
    JORDAN Country Report JORDAN COUNTRY REPORT OVERVIEW OF THE SITUATION OF CULTURE December 2018 By Toleen Touq with contributions from Samah Hijjawi (2015) Updated by Ala Younis (2018) This report has been produced with assistance of the European Union. The content of this report is the sole responsibility of the Technical Assistance Unit of the Med- Culture Programme. It reflects the opinion of contributing experts and can in no way be taken to reflect the views of the European Commission. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report gives an overview of the situation of culture in Jordan. The report presents the history and context of political and cultural life in Jordan as a start point, and provides information about the workings of the public, private and independent (non-profit) sectors, concentrating mainly on the capital Amman. The report is subjective in that it takes the authors’ background in the independent sector as its primary perspective. The unusual state of arts and culture in Jordan is that there is quite a disparity between public practices and private/independent ones. The public sector has been enriched since the 80s with large institutions and nation-wide festivals, attracting big productions and large audience. However, culture became more synonymous with state policies serving patriotism and tradition in the last 2 decades. The private and independent sectors however, only starting to a force in the cultural scene in the last decade or so, have provided a needed avenue for expression for a wider range of artists in all fields, as well as regional and international collaboration. Both fields have however suffered in the realm of funding.

Amalgamating literature from studies of identity and defensive democratization, the thesis places two central questions into historical context: why did the hirak movements emerge in the rural tribal strongholds of the Hashemite monarchy before spreading into urban centers? And why did the founders of more urban and demographically heterogeneous hirak collectively agree in the nascent stages of their movements’ geneses
