Smart Centre round tables to raise electoral awareness amongst the youth and women

SMART centre for media and advocacy organised last week three round tables with students from the LAU, AUST, and MUBS.  The events were part of a series of round tables organised within the framework of the "One Voice Makes a Change" project.  Participants discussed the importance of youth and women participation in public and political life through the electoral process.

According to SMART’s director, Randa el Yassir, the importance of these round tables stem from the importance of including youth in discussions about social economic and political problems as well as preparing them to contribute to find solutions through their participation in decision making processes.
