Sharek Youth Forum with the partnership of the Coalition for Integrity and Accountability – AMAN, implemented a youth summer school hosted at the Youth Village for three consecutive days, during which young people were exposed to focused training on the principles and values of integrity, transparency, and accountability in a manner where practical and theoretical approaches were taught. The school hosts practical community experiments that work on these concepts through youth and institutional programs and initiatives, with the aim of preparing youth groups for the largest national accountability day in Palestine, enhancing their role in community participation, monitoring of performance and management of public affairs and finances.

During the previous seasons, since the beginning of 2017, more than 600 young men and women between the ages of 18-29, who enjoy a high sense of leadership, initiative, community work, pressure campaigns, advocacy, and social accountability, were targeted.

After years of working in the youth and anti-corruption sectors promoting integrity and accountability, we realized the importance of developing youth leadership skills, supporting and developing their initiatives in the field of community accountability. This is achieved by helping youth analyze society and the factors affecting the development of practical scenarios that respond to reality and to the rapid changes that affect the future. This is particularly pertaining to  the future of youth, who represent a third of society and bear upon themselves the idea of changing and reforming it in favor of the values of justice, equality, and freedom.
