Samar Dudin

She led the Youth, Child, and Community Programs in Jordan and coached teams in Egypt, Palestine, and Lebanon to set up Ruwwad's programmatic framework, which focuses on methodical participatory approaches such as Inquiry-Based Learning, Neuroscience educational strategies, and transformational practices that enhance empathy and creativity.

Dudin is considered a pioneer in Theatre &Drama in education in Jordan, having directed and co-authored more than 17 plays that focus on Socio-political themes addressing young people and children.

[6] Her participatory methodologies foster co-authorship and creative collaboration, using theatre as a medium that challenges social norms and advocates for justice.

In 2016 she joined the Civil Alliance party which didn’t pull through and became a member of the social democratic forum to contribute to the dialogue needed for the unity of the progressive movements.

[10] After the political reforms were launched in Jordan in 2021 Samar was actively engaged as a volunteer in developing Youth leadership in organizing and driving campaigns to support social justice and freedom of speech and expression in the public domain.

Dudin's vision centers around creating an inclusive society where youth, women, and marginalized communities are actively engaged in shaping the country's future.
