(Offre en anglais) Tunisian Institute for Peace and Conflicts Studies lance un appel à candidatures pour la deuxième édition du forum HANNIBAL Op Retour vers les opportunités

Introduction:

This is the second forum of the project “HANNIBAL Op.” in its Tunisian version. To meet the challenges of neighborhood policy with the European Union, today our young leaders are asking questions that stretch to take all the subjects of the EU relationship / Southern Mediterranean (TUNISIA) where civil society has a say and is getting more involved.

Process:

In order to achieve mastery and involvement of Southern Youth (TUNISIA) to build and defend an equal partnership, we hope by this second encounter create a dynamic of actors to form the stem cell young leaders of change.

4. Environmentally,
5. And puts people at the center of interest (the youth, the initiative by the population and the well being of citizens).

• Supporting the convergence of our young leaders to model and manage résilences (Governance reforms etc).
