Youth Training Program: Enhancing the Role of Civil Society

Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung is launching the second round of a regional training program, designed for young adults from the Middle East.  The overall objective of the training program is to enhance knowledge of professional methodology for civic activism, increase the CSO contribution to economic and social development processes, and to motivate young people to participate in the civic life and local development of their respective countries.  25 selected participants from seven countries will participate in a unique program cycle throughout 2018 and 2019 comprised of a series of four trainings aimed at strengthening the organizational and functional capabilities of CSOs.  Furthermore, the program will focus on individual skill trainings such as communications and negotiation workshops.  The training program will take place over a two-year period and the training series will be finalized with a study trip to Germany.
