Do you want to promote youth involvement in development projects? Do you have ideas and perspectives on how to improve the lives of young people in Tunisia? Do you want to share your opinions and give feedback on activities supported by the Danish-Arab Partnership Programme (DAPP)? Are you a resident of Tunisia? Then, we need you onboard.
(For Arabic, see below)
We offer you a chance to become a member of a Youth Sounding Board in Tunisia providing feedback on the activities implemented by the partners of the Danish-Arab Partnership Programme (DAPP). As a member of the Youth Sounding Board, you will receive personal training and become a part of a vibrant youth network in the region, working to enhance youth empowerment and youth participation in Tunisia, Morocco, Jordan, and Egypt.
What is the Youth Sounding Board?
The Youth Sounding Boards are a way of creating meaningful youth inclusion in DAPP activities and to ensure that activities are conducted with, by and for youth. Therefore, you will be asked to share your opinion, thoughts, and ideas on the programme and how the programme contributes to improve the life of young people. In each of the four DAPP countries (Tunisia, Morocco, Jordan and Egypt), a Youth Sounding Board was established in 2022, consisting of 4 young people from each country. Now we need a new member to join the Tunisian board.
As a member of one of the Youth Sounding Boards, you will be introduced to a theoretical framework on youth inclusion and receive a practical toolbox.
The Youth Sounding Board members will:
- Participate in one annual regional meeting in Tunisia or Jordan, and approximately four annual meetings in your home country.
- Participate in project visits to observe and interview volunteers, partners and other youth participating in the DAPP activities.
- Share your ideas, opinions, and thoughts on these activities and on how youth involvement can be strengthened and how activities can be improved to create a better life for youth.
