II. Projects:
1. El Ga3da: "EL GA3DA", linguistically is a word coming from the Tunisian dialect means the meeting or the sitting, actually, is a monthly event organized by YouthCan in partnership with the Tunisian Organization for peace and local authorities and NGO’s. New month, new Ga3da and new thrilling subject about the Tunisia post-revolution is discussed, themes are substantially related to youth and obstacles they came across while trying to experience democracy. Meeting are spontaneously taking-place in metro stations, bar..., and covered directly through all our social media channels therefor people watching from their homes can react by questions, notes and remarks immediately. Our main goals from this free open and on ground plate-form is to get-together a group of youth around a controversial topic consequently giving them a chance to express and share their opinion. Also, we aim to make them aware and conscious of the importance of their participation in the public affairs in this transitional era, as well as creating a national network for NGO’s, activists and grassroots movements to extend their work. This Project Extends over 2 years staring from January 2017
2. Café Politique: The political café is a project that extends over 5 years and covers all the 24 governorates of the Tunisian republic. Each month, a hot topic will be tackled all over the 24 governorates, on the same day and at the same time. Our objective is to transform coffee shops and Tunisian public spaces into platforms for discussion between the citizens, civil society and politicians. Until today we succeeded at organizing five "cafés politiques" that took places in multiples Tunisian governorates like Tunis, Nabeul, Sfax, Gafsa , Sousse and at least 3 others governorates and we even succeeded at organizing a "cafés politiques" for the Tunisian citizens living in Paris twice and once in Berlin. The café Politique extends every month to a new state; by December 2018 we reach 24 states of Tunisia. As for the topics, for five months we insisted n choosing the hot topic that was grabbing everyone's attention as example for March café politique we choose to talk about "Panama Leaks" which invaded the social medias and almost every TV political shows and when the Tunisian president BCE went back to discuss the reconciliation law for the third time we took it as a topic to discuss in our fourth "café politique" during May. In the five "cafés politiques" that we organized we had the pleasure to welcome hundreds of Tunisian citizens from different areas, political views and center of interest and different generations too. Those events were animated by a diversity of guests: politicians, jurists, civil society, activists etc. This Project Extends on 5 years staring from January 2017
3. Parliamentary Inquiry Committees: (Panama Papers/Illegal youth deportation to Syria..): Coordinating with Al BAWSALA, I Watch and Dostourna, we noticed that there’s no NGO working specifically on monitoring and observing the work of Parliamentary Inquiry Committees (For now 2 committees), so two of youth caners have access to the parliament and assist all meetings of these committees, report their work on our SM accounts and guarantee that people know what is happening and the progress of their work (Access to information right). Based on developments and progress/Challenges, we will organize events gathering young people and deputies in these committees to discuss the subject in question and to suggest recommendations
4. Impulse Boost Camp: The Impulse Boot Camp is an international training for people between 18 and 27 years who are voluntary active in creative political processes. We will try out project management tools, methods for working in groups and reflect upon our personal and organizational development. Non-formal methods with an innovative and interdisciplinary character will be selected for this purpose. The seminar will be shaped by the participating people from at least 7 different countries, so we can share our stories and learn from each other. Together we want to develop a new project idea that can be implemented either by every participant her- or himself or together as a group. At the end you will take the knowledge back into your communities and take an active part in the political processes. The Impulse Boot Camp will take place from every year August in the countryside of Saxony, Germany (Schneeberg). We will live in a seminar house where we have our own food crew that will cook ecologically, locally and according to our needs. Our seminarhouse is surrounded by wonderful nature. Youth Can will be the exclusive partner in the MENA region
