Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Youth Policy Engagement and Communication Capacity-building Program, led by the Knowledge to Policy (K2P) Center in collaboration with the Lebanese University (LU), Issam Fares Institute (IFI), and ARA Research and Consultancy.

The program aims to equip young people aged 18–24 years with the knowledge, practical skills, and opportunities to engage in evidence-informed policymaking and contribute to addressing social policy challenges in Lebanon affecting children, adolescents, and vulnerable populations. Through an interactive learning journey, participants will strengthen their skills in policymaking, research, public finance, governance, knowledge translation, advocacy, and stakeholder engagement while collaborating with peers, researchers, and policymakers to promote equitable and inclusive outcomes for children and communities.
We would greatly appreciate your support in disseminating the attached Call for Applications among your students, recent graduates, and relevant academic and student networks.
