Tunisian Youth Cares C h a l l e n g e Motion: All the youth of Tunisia should care about their regions and act to make it a better place.

Description of the project: During the past years, the educational system in Tunisia and the arab world is dropping due to lack of entertainment from the decision makers and the non-care behavior of the youth.

Despite the fact that many NGOs, clubs and international organization got launched in the country after the Arab spring, youth are not really involved in the public life especially in the interior and rural regions.

IIDebate believes that dialogue and communication are the best way to make people care about their communities. In addition, the only community who will make youth care is the youth themselves. That’s why, The International Institute of Debate in partnership with the Young Arab Voices program decided to start the IIDebate Challenge under the name of “Tunisian Youth Cares”.

The main objective of the challenge is to find ideas for how each YAV club selected to participate in the boxing days find concrete ideas on how they can make youth care and more involved in the public life of his community (Regions, Subregion…). Each participant should come up with innovative ideas through a research that they should undertake on the ground. Each club will apply as his own club and not as a person, then they should submit their application before the 30st May 2015 composed by: -‐ Video documentary which doesn’t go over 2 minutes length (120 Seconds) -‐ An article composed by the ideas that this club would like to do: the article must be written in English (According to the structure in the how to apply section).

-‐ Name + pictures of the team who worked on the project.

Each team will have the chance to present only one idea. From the 01st June 2015 until the 07th June 2015 the voting will start online on the website of IIDebate. Every team will have to promote its idea and people will rate online through a voting system. In the end of the 08th June 2015 IIDebate will show how many votes each team got.

3 Winners team will pass to the final where they will have to present their ideas in front of the Judges in The Boxing Day on the second day at 02 PM. IIDebate will invite as judges decision makers to take part of the competition who has a real relation with youth issue as (UNESCO, Ministry of youth, NGOs, Private Sector companies, MEDIA…_) The winning team will get a price and IIDebate and YAV will follow up with the execution of the project.
