The Hashemite University signed a partnership agreement with the King Hussein Foundation to implement the European Union (EU)-funded project ‘Fostering Youth’s Role in Community Development’.

 

This project will be implemented over the span of 30 months. It will involve five phases and 12 activities, and will be implemented through a specialized project team from the Hashemite University Center for Studies, Consultation and Community Service and the University’s Career Center in partnership with a team from the Community Development Institute at the King Hussein Foundation.

 

Ambassador Pierre-Christophe Chatzisavas, said “the EU is pleased to partner with The Hashemite University and the King Hussein Foundation to support youth initiatives for the benefit of communities in the Zarqa and Mafraq governorates. With Key skills like entrepreneurship and innovation, young people gain the confidence and ability to take initiative and create positive change in their communities. We hope that this program will reach 10,000 beneficiaries indirectly, including women and persons with disabilities, to create meaningful impact. And beyond this immediate dividend, we want to be on the side of Jordan as it is investing in the next generation.”
