I have known Mohamed in my capacity as a Peace Ambassador in Lebanon with the Peace First Organization. Mohamed utilized the position of a Regional Manager for the MENA Region in which he directly mentored and supervised me to implement diverse tasks entitled to promoting peace and mitigating violence in vulnerable areas in Lebanon including the refugee camps. I am impressed with Mohamed's synergy, communication skills, and professional demeanor. He constantly provided me with constructive feedback on my overall performance which helped me recognize lots of weaknesses and improved my work abilities swiftly. Organized and diligent, Mr. Ghanem always showed up on time for our scheduled meetings besides he responded to my emails swiftly, a key factor behind the success of Peace First as well as the promotion of a good image for the organization. He is a top-performing leader with a vibrant and contagious sense of humor. I'm keen that he would be a tremendous asset to any academic program and even a professional job. Therefore, he has my highest recommendation. Manal Makkieh

I worked with Mohamed Ghanem on different projects during my undergraduate studies, including Hult Prize competition in 2017 and the Merit 360 program in New York City in 2016. Through these projects, he showed a great zeal for development and making a positive change in his society as well as globally. He has a unique global perspective that he added to our approach in working on the projects. He is also always up-to-date with the recent developments in the international development field. Working with Ghanem has been a great pleasure, and I hope we get to work together again in the near future.

I have known mohamed through social media as he is a community activist. We managed to meet afterwards many times in different events and I felt the helpful evegy from the first moment. As Mohamed is supporting youth to develop themselves I invited him to deliver a training session for MARJ3 interns and I was surprised by his training and communication skills. All the feedback was very positive about him and how helpful and knowledgable he is. I'm super proud of you mohamed and I'm sure that you are able to put value where you go. I hope for you a lot of success in your career and professional life.

Recognizing the importance and strong potential of civil society in shaping societies, one of these projects in particular aims at strengthening civic education and active civil society organizations in the region. Since 2014, the Goethe-Institut Cairo has been partnering up with the Center for Applied Policy Research (CAP) at the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich, Germany, to offer the successful Training-of- Trainers Course on civic education once a year. Building on the previous trainings and in an effort to continuously adapt to participants’ needs, a further developed Training-of-Trainers (ToT) Course will be offered this year, targeting alumni of the previous training courses from Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia.
