In 2016, MARCH inaugurated Kahwetna<\/em><\/strong>, <\/em>on Syria street, the former demarcation line between Jabal Mohsen and Beb El Tebbeneh of a violent past. Kahwetna serves as a cultural caf\u00e9 and hub which brought together former enemies and fighters in the aim of building bridges and friendships and fostering constructive dialogue. Today, Kahwetna has developed into the cradle of our organization\u2019s work in Tripoli and has transformed into a place where participants share stories, meals and experiences. Kahwetna has become a hub for tolerance and understanding and has contributed to the creation of a common identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nKnow more about Kahwetna<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nInstagram @kahwetna.tripoli<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nFacebook Kahwetna – Caf\u00e9 bi Kaffak<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\nBy engaging with the young men and women of Beb El Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen, our organization recognized the imperative need to create safe and inclusive public spaces within the communities that would give the youth a place to interact away from the toxic dynamics of sectarian divide. MARCH also wanted to build an environment that challenges the patriarchal narrative and allowed women to be seen as equals. From here came the idea of our cultural caf\u00e9s. Over and above, MARCH realized that the absence of accessible shared spaces had intensified the sharp sectarian dichotomy within these neighborhoods. In 2018, MARCH replicated this experience in Beirut where it opened Hona Beirut<\/em>,<\/strong> another cultural caf\u00e9 strategically placed at the heart of one of the capital\u2019s former demarcation lines. Much like Tripoli, Beirut\u2019s multiculturalism hadn\u2019t always played to its advantage. Traces of the civil war still remained embedded in the city\u2019s infrastructure. Although different in nature, sectarian tensions were also tangible and youth were more often than not confined to their respective environments rarely integrating other communities. Therefore, the organization set out to establish Hona Beirut<\/em>, an inter-communal hub that offers artistic and recreational facilities in addition to ongoing capacity-building and career-oriented workshops.
