youth forum

The Youth Forum is a 3-day conference at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane in which college students from all over Morocco will gather to learn more about all types of struggles that the Moroccan youth face in political participation as well as contribute to discussing the role of the youth in politics and the importance of their involvement in the governance and political affairs of the country with the presence of Academics and political personalities with the objective of presenting avenues of success and re-inclusion of the Youth into the political landscape.

The biggest political youth gathering in Morocco.

MPC Youth Forum’s 3rd edition under the theme “Youth and Political Participation: The question of Abstention”.

Against accusations of apathy with regards to politics, the Moroccan youth has shown time and time again its willingness to partake in popular demonstrations and embrace contemporary social issues which are affecting Moroccan society. Thus, the problem of the Youth is not so much its supposed indifference towards society, but rather its lack of political outlets where it could express itself against the governing structures.

The goal

Foster political participation among youth.

Awareness

Broaden the knowledge of national participants on important topics affecting Morocco.

Engagement

Engage in fruitful discussions and debates with expert speakers.

Diversity

Promoting respect of differences and freedom of speech
