Media support program for independent youth in the national dialogue

The most important event of this year in Yemen was the National Dialogue Conference, which was launched with the participation of 40 independent young people from all over Yemen. They were part of this event and were chosen among 565 members representing various political parties and movements and components of Yemeni society from all over Yemen.

Most of the young candidates came from outside the capital, and they do not belong to any political parties, unlike the older participants in the national dialogue, who have political or media means that support them and have spent their lives practicing politics, and if these young participants can get an opportunity to influence the course of the dialogue They need to be able to build a strong base and have a strong attachment to that base.
Involving the community in the development of the dialogue will ensure that the results of the dialogue are real and not a repetition of previous policies of closed-room agreements.

The Resonate Foundation! Yemen and Sport Yemen Group and their partners have developed strong relationships with many of the participating youth dialogue, who welcomed the provision of media support to them and emphasized their need for this program.

The project of the media support program for independent youth in the National Dialogue Conference aims to enhance communication between the youth of the independent dialogue and between young people outside the National Dialogue Conference, as well as the general public, by filming and producing informative videos for the youth of the independent dialogue and developing a website documenting all media materials produced by the youth of the independent dialogue It enables the public, in general, to communicate directly with them, and the youth respond to all the public's questions.
