The Renaissance Strategic Centre (RSC) is enthusiastic to announce a partnership with the Social Change School (SCS) [https://www. socialchangeschool.org/en/], formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed this November.
As a pioneering educational institution in Europe, SCS is dedicated to empowering young professionals and managers to lead and innovate nonprofit organizations, driving stronger social impact.
The SCS Career Service Coordinator based in Jordan, Bruno Clerici, and our RSC Coordinator, Mariam Abu Samra, recently met to launch this collaboration, which will provide field training periods for SCS students at ARDD/ RSC Jordan, upon completing their SCS master’s programs.
Through this initiative, SCS students from Europe will have the opportunity to join our RSC Internship Program in Amman. SCS will cover some of the associated costs, while RSC will offer guidance and mentorship throughout this hands-on experience. SCS students will actively engage in ongoing projects aligned with RSC’s programmatic areas, which are rooted in evidence-based practices and policies. This partnership will expose students to context-specific research, networking strategies, and civic engagement initiatives, enhancing their understanding of the region.
This agreement establishes a framework for collaboration and knowledge exchange between Europe and Jordan, aiming to strengthen connections between academic institutions and policy research platforms. It is designed to enrich educational opportunities through hand-on experience, while fostering innovative research outcomes. This partnership reflects ARDD/RSC’s commitment to bridging academic theory with practical applications, promoting knowledge production, and nurturing the next generation of scholars, practitioners, and youth-focused collaborations.
