Empower your generation!
reach out is a British Council project bringing together young Arabic and English speakers, from North Africa, Middle East and the UK, between 13 - 30 years of age. By online and face-to-face discussions, reach out enables these young people to share their concerns, issues and recommendations on topics linked to the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) held in Tunis in November 2005.
The purpose of reach out is:
- To provide young people with an opportunity to voice their opinions about WSIS related issues, cultural diversity, the digital divide, Internet governance, media freedom and e-learning / employment - in a safe and dynamic environment.
- To build and support collaboration between youth networks across North Africa, Middle East and UK.
- To develop a reach out community able to deliver sustainable projects with tangible outcomes.
- To encourage reach out participants to become advocates for change in their local communities.
As part of the continued development of the reach out community, there will be a workshop in British Council Tunisia on 28 - 30 March 2006. The workshop will combine physical and virtual activities, to enhance the reach out community’s ability to deliver tangible and sustainable projects.
We would like you to get involved; express yourself via this blog and help empower a generation!
