The objective is to encourage young people to participate in citizenship by involving them in the process of preparing the Council’s reports, in particular through the organization of thematic meetings in Youth Centers across all regions of the Kingdom with a view to collect their opinions and proposals, he explained.
Under this agreement, interactive tools and mechanisms will be developed with a view to strengthening the citizen participation of young people to collect their opinions and proposals as part of the Council’s work.
