Since the Jasmine revolution, the youth of
Tunisia have become increasingly aware
of their role and responsibility in building
a democratic society and using their
freedom of speech. One of the recurring
events of Future Leaders is the Young
Voices Forum, which was created to encourage
youth to take action and develop
their skills in advocacy, dialogue and
conflict management. Competencies that
were deemed necessary to citizens of a democracy.
At the end of each Young Voices
Forum, a closing ceremony is organised
with participation of influential people,
who discuss societal issues and suggestions
for improvement with the young
people participating at the event. The participants
vote and elect a President and a
Vice President among themselves, who
lead the session and the discussion. In the
following section, you will meet Mohamed
Dhia Bouchaala and Sarra Mezni, who were
elected President and Vice President.
Apart from strengthening national citizenship,
a strong priority for the Future Leaders
partnership is ensuring cross-cultural
exchange between youth, creating friendships
and fostering respect and understanding
across borders.
Currently, Future Leaders is organised in
three components, with the one named
‘Democratic Change Agents’ (DCA) focusing
solely on young people. The youth are
the future and the partnership focuses on
building their leadership skills, their creativity
and their respect, so they can become
true future leaders.
In addition to Mohamed Dhia and Sarra,
this section gives you the stories of Emna
Nakib, Yasmine Driss, and Sahar Zwaghi.
