The Middle East Forum is a project that encourages emerging young voices to express themselves, exchange views and be heard. The project provides participants with a series of workshops to develop writing skills, media presence, and digital security as well as a free discussion space where they have the capacity to debate constructively. Participants in the forum host speakers, acquire skills, share knowledge, and give feedback to one another. This page shares with our readers some of the highlights and outcomes on various topics and issues that the participants have engaged in throughout our Egypt and Syria programmes, to launch what we hope will become an exciting online space in English and Arabic for vibrant regional debate.
