These young people possess a sophisticated awareness of the issues facing their communities and deserve a free and safe space that listens to their opinions and strengthens their presence in positions of influence.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This space brings together a select group of young leaders and activists from the rural areas of Ajloun Governorate, all of whom possess a genuine passion for change and public service. It is a platform that fosters rural political participation, providing tools for knowledge, training, and dialogue, empowering young voices to become active participants rather than passive recipients of information, and solidifying their role as true leaders for a more just and effective future.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Intermediaries of Change Center for Sustainable Development , through the \u201cSafe Rural Youth Political Space,\u201d is committed to supporting and providing all the necessary capabilities to empower young people in rural communities to participate and open doors for them to actively participate in shaping public policies and building a more just and inclusive future.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading
