Demo's programme in Tunisia

Demo Finland's programme in Tunisia seeks to enhance the representation and role of youth in politics. Together with three other organisations (Centre des Etudes Méditerranéennes et Internationales CEMI, Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy NIMD and Bulgarian School of Politics BSoP), Demo has launched the School of Politics in Tunisia.

The School brings together young members of different political parties and offers them practical tools for doing politics. The goal is to empower these youths to have their say in political decision-making, while learning to collaborate across the party lines. The project also offers opportunities for mutual learning among Tunisian and European youth politicians.
