About

Name of the Open Forum: Youth Participation in the UAE

Specific issues that the Open Forum will focus on:
TIG is running a series of Open Forums in the Middle East & North Africa region on the theme of "Youth Participation". Through them, TIG aims to learn how young people are participating in various countries and/or contexts in the region. The Open Forums seek to give youth in the region the opportunity to exchange experiences on the topic as well as discuss the opportunities available to them. It also seeks to show how TIG can help boost participation for youth at the local, national, and international levels.

The proposed agenda for the Open Forum is:
- Introductions to each other and topic
- Divide into smaller groups
- Presentations to entire group
- Questions, comments, further discussions

Keywords: youth, ICTs, education, NGOs, civil society, employment, volunteerism, participation, UAE, Middle East

Rationale for holding this Open Forum:
Addressed above.
It is particularly interesting to discuss this topic in the UAE since the country is quite heterogeneous, with people coming from all four corners of the world. The UAE is also a country, with Dubai being at the forefront, of high economic growth. Thus, amongst this constant and rapid change, there seems to be no better time to discuss this topic and see how young people can help boost their participation in the UAE.

Goals the organizer hopes to achieve by holding this Open Forum for youth in the community:
- understand the context that youth in the UAE are participating in
- give youth the chance to connect and exchange resources
- provide concrete solutions to future participation

Language in which the Open Forum will be held: English & Arabic
