Amman, June 3 (Petra) — Minister of Youth Raed Adwan said the
ministry is continuing to implement its plan to activate youth
centers through three key pillars: upgrading youth and sports
infrastructure to provide safe and youth-friendly spaces, enhancing
training programs offered by the centers to meet the needs and
aspirations of young people, and empowering youth workers.

Speaking during a visit on Wednesday to the Naour Youth Center in
Amman, attended by Amman Youth Directorate Director Thamer Al-Nsour
and Naour District Administrator Shadi Al-Bakhit, Adwan met with
members of the local community as well as heads and representatives
of clubs and civil society institutions.

He said the ministry places significant emphasis on ensuring the
sustainability of existing youth and sports facilities and developing
new ones under a carefully planned strategy linked to the condition
and needs of facilities in each governorate. He added that the
ministry also supports club plans and programs in accordance with
club-support regulations focused on youth empowerment and service to
local communities.

During the visit, Adwan reviewed renovation and rehabilitation work
carried out at the center, which included comprehensive maintenance
of the building, refurbishment of training halls, external
facilities, and a five-a-side football pitch covering 1,000 square
metres, as well as the installation of modern lighting. Improvements
were also made to indoor and outdoor facilities, and new
air-conditioning units were installed.

Adwan also toured the fitness hall and a computer laboratory equipped
with 12 computers, internet services and interactive screens. He
visited vocational training workshops in sewing and beauty services,
which help develop the skills of young men and women and prepare them
for the labour market.

During the tour, a group of center members enrolled in the ministry’s
taekwondo program, implemented in cooperation with the Jordan
Taekwondo Federation, staged a sports demonstration, showcasing the
athletic skills they have acquired since the start of the training
course.
