Workshop

Four workshops were jointly organized by Hanns Seidel Foundation and the Association of Advancement for Education and Development.The activities aim at enhancing local development and promoting the local administration system in Egypt.
Active young people as well as local administration executives were trained to be able to implement public participation practices and to start their own local initiatives to address and solve local problems.
Moreover the workshops were used as a tool to select the most active participants for an upcoming summer school that will take place in Ismailia.
The workshops covered theoretical input on decentralization and the Egyptian local administration system as well as on local problem solving. After the participants attended the theoretical training they worked in groups to define difficulties of their local community and suggest possible solutions.

The program is available here.
