About Huda Amareen
I have started my career path as a teacher at the Ministry of Education in Jordan and stayed there for 20 years until retirement in 2012. As a believer in local community development, especially for rural areas, women and youth empowerment, human rights and cultural heritage as part of the identity, I started to work on a volunteer basis with different organizations and in different fields in my region
This volunteer work experience continued with one of the unique non-governmental organizations in Jordan concerning cultural heritage protection and heritage sites preservation, Petra National Trust (PNT).
Since I used to be a trainer at PNT, I had the experience and knowledge needed in writing curricula about Heritage and climate changes. Also, my experience with children and youth helped me as well in working with women, youth and people with disabilities, which added value to me to be able to provide capacity building training to youth, tackling the issues of self-awareness on cultural heritage, human rights and development, building life skills and critical thinking capacities and encouraging positive involvement for women and youth in local communities, and preservation of world heritage sites, especially Petra.
