“Ibtihaj Al-Baoul: From Passion to Deep Political Awareness”

“Ibtihaj Al-Baoul, a political and social activist from Jordan, is passionate about party work and active political participation. My journey was not just a passing experience, but a comprehensive path that began with the ‘Safe Rural Youth Political Space’ program launched by the Intermediaries for Change Center. This space served as a key starting point in my journey of learning and political empowerment.”

“💬 Turning Point: From Superficial Awareness to Deep Political Consciousness”

“Through the Rural Space initiative, I began expanding my knowledge about political participation and party work, delving into party laws, political concepts, and mechanisms for engaging with decision-makers. This space marked a true turning point in my thinking, as I developed a deeper awareness of the importance of politics as a fundamental pillar in every citizen’s life.”

“🗳️ Transitioning from Training to Practical Implementation”

“The impact of the Rural Space initiative was not limited to theoretical training; it also included practical application. I participated in drafting policy papers and presenting them to decision-makers, in addition to taking part in dialogue sessions with representatives of political parties. These sessions were a valuable opportunity to apply what I had learned in real-life settings and to engage directly with political issues affecting the community.”

“💡 Empowerment in Political Decision-Making”

“During my participation in the Rural Space initiative, I was in an environment that encouraged rethinking political affiliations and personal decisions. Through continuous analysis and discussions, I realized that political decisions should be based on genuine awareness and deep understanding—not merely superficial affiliation. The Intermediaries for Change Center helped me reach this stage of mature political consciousness.”

“✨ Change Begins with Awareness and Active Participation”

“Today, I believe that political awareness is not something imposed, but rather the result of active participation in political and social life. The Rural Space provided by the Intermediaries for Change Center was the space that gave me the tools and knowledge to be able to create change in my community. I learned that through engaging with the political reality, one can make a real difference.”

“My journey is still ongoing, and I believe that awareness and participation are the foundation for achieving change.” – Ibtihaj Al-Baoul

“🌱 Sustainable Change Begins with Rural Youth”

“Through the Rural Space initiative, my vision was realized that rural youth are capable of political empowerment and participating in decision-making. This space, provided by the Intermediaries for Change Center, served as a platform that transformed my understanding of politics and community engagement, and made me believe that change begins when youth recognize their role in making a difference.”
