We have also started in April our project called "Leadership-Up Project" that aims at developing youngsters leadership skills through holding workshops and training on soft-skills (Leadership skills, communication skills, entrepreneurship skills, debate skills, emotional intelligence, gender equality…). In June, we have launched our new project called ‘WeDebate’ which is assisted by professional debaters and debate trainers who shared with the participants their experience, knowledge and information, allowing them to learn more techniques and strategies and to further build your personal argumentation skills and that project would end up with a Local Debate Tournament. In September, we are willing to organize the North African Model United Nations (the first edition in Tunisia) that would allow 200 participants from north Africa to take part in model united nations. Our upcoming project which focuses on Education Reform in Tunisia after the revolution we seek organized program that we would work on the capacities of teachers, professors and trainers so that we could implement an effective educational strategy and program that would consider soft skills (entrepreneurship skills, leadership skills…) a top priority in the educational journey. We believe personal skills are the right and needed tools for an individual to face challenges, be an active agent within his / her society and be creative.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We do believe that joining the ALF network would give us the opportunity to make higher contributions to the youth development in Tunisia, as well as enlarging ALF's projects like the Young Arab Voices that should be enlarged especially in our region Sfax... ALF would open the doors so we can further the youth opportunities in non-formal and vocational education, exchange programs, intercultural dialogue and committed to create “change agents” and Youth Leaders within community

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

In our endeavor to enlarge the realm of WeYouth and further actively advocate youth issues in development, human rights movements and promote a positive image of Tunisia youth to motivate more participation and contribution for the country's development, we seek to establish new links and gain partnership with other different organizations that share the same goals. In fact, we seek to set up a network with Anna Lindh Foundation, for we deem its programs as highly complementary and compatible with ours. You have as a main objective to up-lift the newly unleashed youth in countries that are in the process of democratization and whit their political engagement; these are goals that have a common ground with ours: social and civic engagement, furthering youth opportunities in non-formal and vocational education, exchange programs, intercultural dialogue and committed to create “change agents” and Youth Leaders within community. Hence, since the goals are quite the same, we WeYouth long for part taking in upcoming programs and taking part in your Network.
