During the peak conflicts of 2011, the government&#8217;s presence diminished, only to reemerge in 2014 with a new security plan. However, this resurgence came with raids and arrests that left elevated feelings of resentment towards the Lebanese Armed Forces and the state. Consequently, tense relationships developed between the Lebanese Armed Forces and the community, leading to ongoing clashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MARCHing Forward for Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MARCH recognized that fostering stability and unity required rebuilding trust, respect, understanding, and communication between local communities and the Lebanese army. This vision led to the creation of innovative initiatives aimed at bridging the gap and shifting perceptions away from hatred towards acceptance and tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sustainable and resilient stability isn&#8217;t achieved in isolation; it&#8217;s the outcome of collective efforts from diverse stakeholders working together. As such, MARCH strategically collaborated with the public sector, particularly the Lebanese Armed Forces, to reshape perceptions, rebuild trust, and foster unity within a community that has experienced conflict and division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" style=\"border-radius:22px\">READ MORE \ud83d\udc47<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-march-lebanon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"xSPyctVKmB\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/news\/civil-military-cooperation-for-social-cohesion-agriculture-project\/\">Civil Military Cooperation for Social Cohesion &#8211; Agriculture Project<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Civil Military Cooperation for Social Cohesion &#8211; Agriculture Project&#8221; &#8212; March Lebanon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/news\/civil-military-cooperation-for-social-cohesion-agriculture-project\/embed\/#?secret=xSPyctVKmB\" data-secret=\"xSPyctVKmB\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-500x333.png 500w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-800x533.png 800w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-1280x854.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3-1920x1280.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Building Bridges Through Sports<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of MARCH&#8217;s innovative approaches is football tournaments that bring together youth from historically opposing neighborhoods, Bab El Tebbeneh and Jabal Mohsen, along with members of the Lebanese Army. The participants form mixed teams, fostering teamwork and respect both on and off the field. By promoting trust and collaboration, these activities aim to positively influence individual and community opinions and change the narratives of war and hatred. This approach was previously successful with the biannual three-week-long football tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC04744-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC04744-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC04744-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC04744-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC04744-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC04744-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC04744-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC04744-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC04744-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DSC04744-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Building Bridges Through Dialogue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In May 2019, MARCH organized a two-day army camp that facilitated open dialogues and physical activities between the Bab El Dahab team and the soldiers of Tripoli&#8217;s 12th infantry brigade. This retreat delved into past conflicts, encouraged team-building exercises, and provided shared experiences through team-building activities and shared meals. The event proved transformative, fostering mutual respect and a sense of partnership between the two groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, an impressive example is the military training base established from the ground up. Young individuals from Bab El Tebbaneh and Jabal Mohsen, some of whom had participated in MARCH&#8217;s rehabilitative programs, teamed up with the Lebanese Army. This initiative involved constructing various elements of the facility, while dynamic ice-breaking activities focused on teamwork and interpersonal dynamics. Through daily cooperation and a shared goal, tensions dissipated, and a foundation for unity and inclusion was solidified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ioooo-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ioooo-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ioooo-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ioooo-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ioooo-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ioooo-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ioooo-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ioooo-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ioooo.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Lebanese Army &amp; youth cooperation camp  \u0645\u062e\u064a\u064e\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0639\u0627\u0648\u0646 \u0628\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u062c\u064a\u0634 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0628\u0646\u0627\u0628\u064a \u0648\u0634\u0628\u0627\u0628 \u0628\u0627\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0628\u0627\u0646\u0629 \u0648\u062c\u0628\u0644 \u0645\u062d\u0633\u0646\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EcN8Pav1A6E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption><em>To learn more about the two-day army camp, check out this video<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Building Bridges through Construction and Agriculture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The civil-military cooperation activities were numerous and successful throughout the years. They brought the youth closer to military institutions and enabled them to learn various construction skills, from plastering to painting to electricity, along with the construction of solar panels in the army camps to produce sustainable energy for the camp. One of the initiatives also included an agricultural project in Araman Barracks in Tripoli. Youth who had once taken part in clashes in the area joined forces with the Lebanese Army to plant several lands in the camp and install greenhouses to benefit the army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-march-lebanon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"MPYBrp9Vtv\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/news\/civil-military-cooperation-araman-agricultural-project\/\">Breaking Barriers: Former Enemies &#038; Members of the Army unite for an Inspiring Agricultural\u00a0Project<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Breaking Barriers: Former Enemies &#038; Members of the Army unite for an Inspiring Agricultural\u00a0Project&#8221; &#8212; March Lebanon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/news\/civil-military-cooperation-araman-agricultural-project\/embed\/#?secret=MPYBrp9Vtv\" data-secret=\"MPYBrp9Vtv\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image00014-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image00014-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.marchlebanon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image00014-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, MARCH&#8217;s journey exemplifies the transformative power of collaboration.
