Inspiring, Informing and Involving Arab youth as Agents of Change

TakingITGlobal, in partnership with Bibliotheca Alexandrina launched the “Youth for Change”
project in March 2008 to engage youth in cross-cultural dialogue as well as support youth-led development through local projects in 10 Arabic countries: Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Bahrain, Yemen, UAE, Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine.

The Youth for Change project utilized online and offline tools and spaces in order to support cross cultural dialogue between Arab youth on the local, regional and international levels.

On another level, the project also provided mini-grants and online training to support 15 projects in the different priority countries, that focused on crucial issues facing young people in the Arab World such as employment, education, environment, HIV/AIDS, health, culture & identity, cross cultural dialogue and human rights & democracy.

The project also offered scholarships to 2 mini-grant winners from
Egypt and Bahrain to attend the World Youth Congress 2008 in Quebec City, in order to receive additional support, training and access to international networks focused on supporting youth-led development.
