The third dialogue session for the “Tawasul: Towards Equitable Political Participation for Rural Youth” project, held at Ajloun University College.

Ajloun – Intermediaries of Change Center for Sustainable Development (ICC) will hold the third dialogue session of the “Tawasul: Towards Equitable Political Participation for Rural Youth” project in Ajloun Governorate on Sunday, 8 November 2026, at 10:30 a.m., at the Ajloun University College Hall. The session will bring together young men and women, representatives of political parties, relevant stakeholders, and active members of the local community.

The session aims to provide a participatory dialogue space to discuss the reality of youth political participation in rural communities, identify local priorities, and explore the economic, social, and political challenges facing young people. It will also address ways to place these priorities on the national agenda, ensuring that youth issues are reflected in political party programmes, public policies, and decision-making processes, while supporting the transition from symbolic participation to meaningful political engagement based on influence and accountability.

The session also seeks to strengthen communication between young people, decision-makers, and political actors, providing participants with an opportunity to share their perspectives and aspirations and formulate practical priorities and recommendations rooted in the needs of local communities. It further aims to support the development of sustainable channels for dialogue and participation.

The project is guided by a vision that connects the realities of young people in Jordan with the shared challenges and opportunities facing youth across Mediterranean countries, particularly in relation to civic and political participation, equitable access to opportunities, meaningful representation, and the promotion of dialogue, mutual understanding, and pluralism.

This session is part of a series of local dialogues implemented by the “Tawasul” project in Jerash and Ajloun Governorates, aiming to identify youth priorities emerging from rural communities and transform dialogue outcomes into actionable recommendations for follow-up and advocacy. This contributes to linking local issues with national policy discussions and strengthening the role of Jordanian youth as active participants in the Euro-Mediterranean youth and civic space.

The project is implemented by the Intermediaries of Change Center for Sustainable Development (ICC), in partnership with the Anna Lindh Foundation and with the support of the European Union, as part of efforts to promote intercultural dialogue and strengthen the role of youth and civil society in building more inclusive and participatory societies across the Mediterranean region.
