Our Center: A Collaborative Vision for Change: The center was established in March 2023 as a collaborative initiative between the United Arab Emirates and the United States of America. This partnership represents a shared commitment to fostering understanding, dialogue, and positive change across cultures. Through this effort, we aim to create an environment where cooperation and mutual respect thrive, paving the way for transformative opportunities in the region.
Inspiration Behind Our Mission: The center’s mission draws its inspiration from the word "Manara," which translates to "source of light" in Arabic. The word symbolizes hope, guidance, and enlightenment—values that resonate across various cultures and religious traditions. The name reflects our core belief that knowledge and understanding can act as powerful tools in illuminating paths toward peaceful coexistence and shared prosperity.
Our Goals: Promoting Peace and Social Inclusion: Our primary objective is to promote values of coexistence, peace, and social inclusion in the region. We achieve this through a combination of research, educational initiatives, strategic partnerships and constructive dialogue . At the heart of our work is a commitment to empowering youth, fostering their leadership, and encouraging them to take an active role in shaping the future. By focusing on youth-led initiatives, we aim to create a ripple effect that encourages wider social transformation and supports the development of a more inclusive and harmonious society.
