“Youth-in-Action Marketplace”
Jordan Youth Connecting Youth and Organizations.
Under this title, the preparatory committee of the Jordan Youth Forum in cooperation with Konrad Adenauer Foundation are holding the “Youth-in-Action Marketplace” on Saturday, August 10th 2002 at Al-Hussein Cultural Centre that is kindly supporting this event within the frame of Amman Cultural Capital 2002.
The “Youth in Action” Marketplace will bring together 25 local, national, and international NGOs working with and for youth in Jordan to participate in a one-day event to present their programs and ideas, and exchange views on how to join efforts in helping Jordan’s youth participate in the social and political arena in Jordan, especially through voluntary work, developing their skills to carry out self-help projects and to connect active youth with potential support organizations
During the first part, NGOs will give short presentations of their youth programs and projects to a wider public, while in the second bazaar part, NGOs can meet and make new contacts with active and interested youth from different parts of Jordan who are not only willing to get involved in voluntary work, but also to develop new projects and initiatives based on youth’s needs and those of their neighbourhoods.
This event comes in preparation for the Jordan Youth Forum 2002 that will be held on October 3-5 where young Jordanians will develop action plans for projects that are relevant to youth’s needs and help them connect with potential support organizations that could help in finding solutions to their local problems and challenges.
The media are welcome to attend and cover the event.
