The Arab Resource Center for Popular Arts (ARCPA), commonly known as AL-JANA, was established in 1990 as a local NGO registered in Lebanon. ARCPA works with marginalized communities through documenting their enriching experiences and creative contributions, while at the same time enhancing the capacity of youth towards conflict transformation, active learning, and creative expression. Furthermore, the organization specializes in producing educational and cultural resources based on community experiences and creative contributions. Its programs vary to include interventions focusing on community development and social inclusion, resource mobilization, and active memory.

ARCPA envisions marginalized communities empowered by their ability to overcome adversity and cultivate richer societies. In all of its interventions, ARCPA uses non-traditional techniques that provide the youth with capturing and appealing self-expression opportunities while building their capacities. It also focuses on building the capacity of NGOs, CSOs, and other activists working with children and youth to ensure that interventions are sustainable
