Mafraq youth trained to launch media platform

AMMAN — To promote youth participation and achieving social cohesion in refugees and host communities, Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD) in cooperation with the French Foundation (Fondation de France), has held a three-day training session in Mafraq.

The training sessions were part of the "Bridges of Understanding project: Enabling Youth through Social Cohesion" targeting youth between the ages of 16 and 25, an ARDD statement said.

The training sessions that were attended by 63 young men and women aimed at empowering young people to create an online platform to publish, share and broadcast different media content addressing humanitarian issues within their communities.

ARDD was founded in 2008 as a civil society organisation seeking to foster transformative change towards an empowered, resilient and just society in Jordan and the Arab world, read the statement.
