This paper focuses on expanding youth participation, as they represent an effective guarantee for carrying out public policies. As a response to President Mohamed Hosni Mubarak’s call, the National Democratic Party (NDP) stressed the importance of granting more space for youth to show their capabilities and trust their potentials. In addition, the NDP stressed the importance of rehabilitating youth to play a more effective role, through policies that the NDP implemented for attaining the best possible participation of youth in the best interest of youth and the country.(Available in Arabic – German in PDF)
This document discusses the policies adopted by the NDP for the integrated development of the Egyptian youth, on a physical, mental, spiritual and emotional level. It also asserts that youth practicing in sport activities is not an end in itself, but an educational tool for developing youth’s mental, physical and moral potentials. NDP policies aim at dealing with youth issues of concern, such as employment, health, addiction, risks of social deviance, intellectual extremism, alienation, apathy and globalization challenges, in a way that harmonizes with their aspirations and protects them from danger. NDP believes that dealing with youth is based on the methodology of dialogue and the exchange of opinions, as a democratic way of discussing issues of concern to youth and the country. This is the right methodology for convincing youth of policies and tendencies adopted by the NDP.
