Who we are: 

The Tunisian Young Leaders Association is active in Tunisia since 2015. Among its objectives is to work towards human development by consolidating the culture of democracy, rights, freedoms, citizenship, good governance, the fight against corruption and all forms of racial discrimination, by carrying out various activities going from the academic side to the awareness aspect, and mainly linked to the values of democracy and citizenship within society, targeted to young people and citizens in general.

General Context: 

Since the launch of “Eyes on Law” project in 2015 in Tunisia, the Tunisian young Leaders association has been working to raise legal awareness among citizens, men and women, of their rights and freedoms, as guaranteed by the Tunisian constitution and legislation, enables young people to help create communication links between themselves and Tunisian decision-makers.

Thus, was born the idea of creating an academy within Tunisian Young Leaders Association, which was launched in its first edition in 2017 with the participation of more than 20 young men and women from various regions of Tunisia, to track the municipal elections course. Then, the academy continued in 2021 with the participation of 6 youth with the intention of following parliamentary work, understand the process of enacting laws, communicate with representatives, and above all support the idea of the importance of civil society as an effective force in submitting recommendations and proposals.

The third edition of Tunisian Young Leaders will be held over 9 months, from November 2023 to July 2024, ensuring significant participation by young person seeking change despite the challenges and difficulties of the political scene, in addition to the fact that it will represent an opportunity to get to know many actors in Tunisian civil society.
