Impact Foundation for Research and Development

Young City-Zen This project is part of civil society efforts to promote civic Education. Since Tunisia is going through a phase of political, social and cultural changes, this project responds to a critical need for active and promising citizenship. By relying on an inclusive participatory approach, the project will try to involve several stakeholders in a societal dialogue to teach young students the principles of the civic education adapted to the post-revolution Tunisian context where democracy, freedom and citizenship are being established as values of the Tunisian society. Through the various efforts of civil society, local authorities, education staff, and national and international experts, this YOUNG CITY-ZEN  project will consolidate the learning of civic education at primary schools for children between 8 and 12 years, and empower civil society institutions committed to the promotion of democracy and citizenship through civic education.
