Proposal For Establishment Of Brotherhood Club

In

Addis Ababa University

Nov, 2022 Addis Ababa: Ethiopia

The proposal of emerging Brotherhood Club.

If we do not maintain brotherhood; brotherhood will not maintain us!

A Brotherhood Club is a great way for students to turn commitment into action. It
can help you connect and organize with others interested in stability. It’s a
framework that promotes learning about brotherhood and gaining skills to deal with
conflict; and then putting those elements together to find ways to take action to
make the Addis Ababa University a better place.

Brotherhood club protects university students as guard from exposing political

conflict and crisis. Brotherhood Club provides a platform where students of the
University can learn culture, language and their skill from each other and also
exchange experiences, teach others and apply the knowledge of peace and fraternity
in their everyday life. It aims to provide a framework that promotes learning about
peace and gaining skills to deal with conflict and then putting those elements
together to find ways to take action to make the our country a better place ever. It is
an opportunity for students to turn their commitment into action.

Brotherhood club have no set form and the resources below provide an adaptable
framework that can be creatively modified: it is specific enough to compare
experiences between Brotherhood Club, but broad enough to be flexible to the
needs of individual schools and communities.

Brotherhood Club is a form of brotherhood infrastructure and a practical approach to

educating for unity and tolerance in university and communities. The participants are
all volunteers who meet to discuss the conflicts they face at university and
elsewhere. Role playing ways of handling such conflicts are a common activity and
train members in the skills of conflict management, resolution and transformation.

Brotherhood Club officially began in 2015 and is the official student group for the
Conflict Analysis Dispute Resolution major. The club is an AAU recognized student
organization funded in part through the Student Appropriations Board and our own
fundraising efforts. The club is open to any Addis Ababa University student regardless
of major.
Importance of the club
The club has a number of academic and practical purposes: The Club is want to
involve in a variety of projects, including the campus case, training students in
mediation skills and process for the Community Mediation Initiative; the official
student sponsor for the renowned “One Person Can Make A Difference” lecture
series, and on campus events such as Relay for Life, and the Multicultural Festival.

The Club is dedicated to making an impact on the students, community of the

University, local community and service to others. Members continue to participate
in these activities and they are constantly finding new opportunities to serve others,
promote brotherhood among Ethiopians, support national dialogue and help the
community.

Active membership is a good way for students to gain valuable brotherhood benefits
and better leadership skills. Membership also offers the opportunity to build
volunteer experience and get some hands on, practical training in the field of conflict
resolution.And the members have also helped to organize Peace in national level and
make brotherhood among nations and nationalities via the member of our club who
come from different parts of the country.
