The Youth Pioneer Society recently wrapped up the second phase of the seventh edition of the Young Parliamentarian Program 2024. The program, in partnership with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS), featured a simulation workshop conducted by the “Crisp” Foundation in Berlin. This workshop aimed to provide participants with valuable experience in negotiation skills, public policy formulation, and effective presentation and communication. Additionally, the workshop focused on enhancing collaboration opportunities among all participants.
Jawaher AlSenan, the program’s general coordinator, highlighted the practical nature of the second phase. During this phase, participants had the opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge acquired in the training phase. Discussions covered a range of topics such as media, public opinion, and roundtable dialogues on current issues. The program aimed to equip young parliamentarians with the necessary tools and expertise to become effective leaders in their communities.
Following the conclusion of the second phase, participants will move on to an experience exchange phase, which includes a visit to the European Parliament for selected outstanding participants.
