Amman, July 2 (Petra) — Minister of Youth Raed Adwan and Chairman of
the Board of Commissioners of the Independent Election Commission
(IEC) Mousa Maaytah on Thursday attended the second preparatory
session for participants in the “Your Voice” program at the Amman
Youth Hostel.

The session, titled “Discover Yourself to Lead Others,” is organized
by the Youth Leadership Development Center at the Ministry of Youth
in partnership with the IEC’s “Ana Usharek” (I Participate) program.
It brought together 50 young men and women representing various youth
centers.

Adwan said that the “Your Voice” program translates Royal directives
aimed at empowering young people and aligns directly with the ongoing
political modernization process across the Kingdom.

He added that through this program, the ministry aims to enhance
political awareness among youth, consolidate the values of
citizenship and democracy, and develop leadership skills. He
emphasized that it seeks to enable young people to participate
actively in public life and decision-making, driven by the firm
belief that youth are genuine partners in the process of national
development.

Maaytah said that the program serves as a national model for
cooperation between the IEC and the Ministry of Youth in politically
empowering young people. He noted that it equips them with the
knowledge and skills necessary to enhance their informed
participation in public life while embedding the values of dialogue,
active citizenship, and responsibility.

He further pointed out that the IEC prioritizes raising youth
awareness regarding the democratic process, viewing them as key
partners in political modernization. Investing in their capabilities
and providing them with opportunities helps prepare young leaders who
are capable of contributing to the service of the nation, Maaytah
added.

The four-month program targets male and female members of youth
centers to boost their political empowerment and elevate their
understanding of the democratic process.

The initiative features dialogue sessions, training workshops, and
interactive activities held across 15 youth centers and several
sports complexes throughout the Kingdom’s governorates.
