In Egypt, Internews is working with youth to encourage them to play active roles in their communities and to increase their involvement in social and political arenas.

After the youth led revolution that ousted Mubarak, Internews started working with students to teach them practical journalism – using newspaper, radio, TV, and new media to identify and address salient community issues. In cooperation with citizenship clubs at eight Egyptian universities, Internews launched a campaign entitled, “Partners in Egypt’s Love,” which works in coordination with similar campaigns for cleaning and developing the youth’s villages and cities. Many students and professors who were involved in the January 25 revolution are participating in the project.
