At COP27 in Egypt SAL/UER met many Egyptians who were interested in our work. Since then we have done a number of online introductions to RC and listening circles with that group. In July 2023, we held a day-long in-person workshop and have been holding monthly in-person day long workshops since that time in the fundamentals of RC. These monthly workshops are lead by Iman Awadh (an Iraqi RC teacher living in England) and a team of Arabic-speaking Co-Counselors from Morocco and Egypt. The workshops continued monthly until December 2023, at which point the Egypt RC Community will be established and led locally.
