The United Nations Alliance Of Civilizations is now selecting emerging leaders and young professionals from the Europe and North America (EUNA) to participate in the 2015 edition of the Fellowship Programme. The objective of this fellowship is to foster intercultural dialogue and interfaith understanding.
10-12 participants from EUNA will travel to Middle East & North Africa (MENA) for 2 weeks. During their trip, participants will interact with actors from various backgrounds in order to get an extensive grasp of their host country’s culture, politics, society, religion, media and more.
Participants’ trip will will focus on a specific sub-theme: Youth Development. There are four main reasons behind such choice.
- Youth is one of UNAOC main pillars of action (along with Education, Media and Migration).
- This topic is at the center of current events in the MENA region and is becoming more relevant everyday.
- It remains broad enough to allow interaction with a wide range of actors, while ensuring effective exchanges and activities on the ground and across the region.
- An important number of Alumni are themselves involved in the field of Youth Development.
