The programme brought together young participants to explore local issues and priorities from a youth perspective and to strengthen their role in shaping local decision-making processes. The training equipped participants with tools to analyse challenges facing their communities and develop practical solutions and initiatives that respond to local needs. It also highlighted the importance of meaningful youth participation and active citizenship in contributing to more inclusive local governance.
Key topics included political modernisation, the role of young people in municipal work, advocacy and lobbying skills, networking, and monitoring local services.
Through discussions and practical activities, participants were encouraged to translate their ideas into concrete actions and initiatives within their communities. The programme forms part of ongoing efforts to strengthen youth engagement in public life and create opportunities for young people to contribute to local development and decision-making in Jordan.
