Jordan Interfaith Action (JIA) Cooperation Circle (CC) is the dialogue unit at the Youth Spirit Center (YSC). JIA promotes interfaith and intercultural dialogue and provides social services to uplift the community. JIA believes that peace and non-violence are the language that makes dialogue and understanding possible. Members build bridges between young people from different cultural, economic, educational and religious backgrounds. In doing so, they break down stereotypical ways of thinking and become examples of how the people of Jordan can coexist amidst tremendous diversity.
