The Independent Electoral Commission concluded the activities of the first “Ana Usharek” youth forum at the university, which was carried out in cooperation with the Crown Prince Foundation. Launching this forum came as an embodiment of the royal vision to integrate Jordanian youth into universities through dialogue and political action. This is to contribute to building a generation that believes in its homeland and leadership and integrates into teamwork.

Technical Adviser and Director of the Partnership Project, Mr. Aws Qteishat, indicated that these training sessions constitute a youth dialogue space, that contributes to enhancing dialogue and communication skills, stimulates critical thinking skills and helps identify important issues and needs, focusing on the concepts of national identity, active citizenship, and political participation for youth, women and people with disabilities.

Topics related to the political participation of youth were also discussed. The trainees came up with proposals, visions and perceptions that enhance and activate their political, partisan and electoral participation based on respect for diversity, pluralism and commitment to the rule of law.

This forum was an opportunity to build the capacities of participating students, as the university responded to the royal directives and the outcomes of the Political System Modernization Committee, part of which revolved around the need to activate the role of youth and their political participation. The university also supported the idea in a way that enhances the role of Jordanian youth in dialogue and political activities and empowering them at universities.
