Al Sharq Youth views the South African meaningful and inspiration political struggle as one of the significant stories that carries key lessons for democratization. For this reason, under the theme “Telling our Stories, Building our Legacies”, Al Sharq Youth Network is holding its 3rd regional event this year in Cape Town, South Africa. The event will be divided into three main sessions that will focus on youth participation in democratic processes, media as an empowering tool and the ways in which innovative youth can contribute to the economic growth and the uplifting of the South African society.
