TUNIS - The City of Science in Tunis played host, on Sunday, to a workshop on the theme:" youth concerns and stakes for better future in Tunisia," with the participation of a host of educators and members of youth and children parliaments.The meeting is on the programme devised by the Ministry of Women, Family, Children and Elderly Affairs, on the International Year of Youth. It aims to identify youth concerns and think of ways to promote their participation in the country's development and public life.
During the works, youth and children parliament members presented papers on the requirements of a better future, the concerns of youth and the contribution of the civil society to involving youth in public life as active elements in society.
At the opening of works, Minister of Women, Family, Children and Elderly Affairs Mrs. Bebia Bouhnak Chihi underlined that the International Year of Youth, which was decided by the United Nations General Assembly at the initiative of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, is an ideal framework for materialising dialogue and establishing relationships between youth of the Tunisia and of the world over.
Tunisian youth, who account now for 30% of the population, fully exercise their rights to political participation, particularly through the youth parliament which President Ben Ali had initiated to inaugurate the International Year of Youth, the minister pointed out.
