A awareness day was recently organized in Mednine, Tunisia, to introduce a scientific program aimed at enhancing the environmental capacities of young people. The event was held by the Association for Development and Strategic Studies in Mednine, in collaboration with the Laboratory for Economy and Rural Societies at the Institute of Arid Regions. This initiative is part of a national project supported by the Tunisian Ministry of Environment.
The program was selected through a national call for participation by the Ministry of Environment, as part of the "Support to Environmental and Climate Governance for Ecological Transition in Tunisia" (PAGECTE) project. This project is overseen by the Ministry of Environment and the Prime Ministry. The awareness day brought together various stakeholders, including the Governor of Northern Mednine, the Regional Director of Environment, and representatives from regional administrations and local councils.
The event was attended by a number of young people from Mednine North and South, who are expected to benefit from the program. The initiative aims to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to actively contribute to environmental conservation efforts in their region. By empowering young people, the program seeks to promote sustainable development and environmental stewardship.
