Layan Al-Sayouf, a young leader from Ajloun Governorate, began her journey in the world of political participation with simple steps, but quickly transformed into a young leader contributing to shaping political dialogue and driving change in rural communities. Today, Layan is considered an inspiring role model in empowering youth and enhancing their political participation through the “Safe Rural Youth Political Space” project, implemented by the Center for Change Agents in cooperation with Ajloun Voice Radio.<\/p>\n\n
Initially, Layan Al-Sayouf participated in a specialized training program offered by the Center for Change Agents on political participation and party work. She had the opportunity to learn about electoral laws and party operations, and developed her skills in political dialogue and discussion management. Despite her humble beginnings as a participant, Layan quickly became a dialogue leader, taking on the responsibility of organizing and managing sessions with party representatives. She consistently focused on delivering tangible results and practical solutions to enhance opportunities for rural youth to participate effectively in politics.<\/p>\n\n
Through her active participation in the Rural Youth Space, Layan facilitated constructive dialogue sessions with representatives of political parties, creating a conducive environment for discussion between rural youth and decision-makers. Layan’s goal was always to bridge the gap between young people and decision-makers, and she was able to analyze the laws governing political parties and elections, as well as offer practical suggestions for amending these laws to enhance the opportunities for rural youth to assume leadership roles in political parties and parliament in the future.<\/p>\n\n
Layan was more than just a coordinator or participant; she was a voice for rural youth, believing that their voices should be heard. Through dialogue sessions, she gathered young people’s recommendations and presented them directly to party representatives, empowering rural youth to influence policies and enhance their role in decision-making. Thanks to her facilitation skills and active listening abilities, Layan became an inspiring role model for many young rural women aspiring to an active role in public life.<\/p>\n\n
What distinguishes Layan Al-Sayouf is her unwavering commitment to change and sustainable impact in her communities. She has created a model for the political empowerment of rural youth. Layan’s experience underscores that rural youth, especially young women, are capable of leading change, regardless of societal challenges. The safe political space for rural youth, launched by\u00a0Intermediaries of Change Center for Sustainable Development<\/strong>, provided her with the skills and tools to be more politically influential, helping to enhance participation and deepen dialogue between young people and decision-makers.<\/p>\n\n Layan Al-Sayouf, a young leader from Ajloun Governorate, began her journey in the world of political participation with simple steps, but quickly transformed into a young leader contributing to shaping political dialogue and driving change in rural communities.
