Preceding from our deep faith in the values of neutrality, responsibility, respect, freedom and transparency, the project aims at creating social and democratic change through: 1. Educating young Egyptians by offering short term programs that increase their awareness on current and future issues and long term training programs that develop their skills to increase their political and social participation. Empowering citizens, initiatives and nongovernmental organizations that are seeking participation, knowledge and opportunities and aligns with the lounge's vision to create social and democratic change by offering resources, networks and capacity building programs.
