openDemocracy’s Arab Awakening is looking for contributors from all over Egypt to take part in our Middle East Forum project. Over the course of six months, we will discuss social, cultural, political or other issues of interest to you in group and one-on-one online sessions, and hold workshops with expert local partner organisations on digital expression and security. Each of you will write a series of features and responses on your selected topics, with the articles published on a dedicated page on openDemocracy where readers can engage with the debates.
You don't have to be an experienced writer, journalist, or blogger, just interested in sharing your opinion and what's going on around you, and in helping us build a free and vibrant platform for pluralist dialogue, debate and ideas exchange. The aim is to have as many voices as possible.
We at Arab Awakening believe facilitating argument and understanding across boundaries is vital to furthering the cause of openness, democracy and human rights. Our articles are read by a worldwide audience of academics, journalists, policy-makers and activists. This is a great opportunity to reach a wide audience of opinion-makers, share your experience, showcase your work, and learn with us.
