A bold Proposal for Syria

Since the beginning of the Syrian revolution, we have heard a never-ending stream of opinions and opinions from analysts and experts about the situation in Syria. We have heard from foreign leaders, political factions, and those engaged in the fighting on the ground. Yet we hear the least from Syrian youth - who initiated the Syrian revolution and make up more than 60 percent of Syria’s population. Any future solution to the Syrian tragedy must have the youth’s support, for Syria’s youth are Syria’s future.  What is Your Bold Proposal for Syria? That is why the Munathara Initiative is partnering with IREX and the Geopolitical Trends Center at Istanbul Kultur University to implement Musabaqat Munathara #DD9, dedicated to the youth of Syria. You can take part by submitting a video of up to 99 seconds, detailing your vision for Syria and a proposal for a way forward. Ten winners will be determined by online vote and invited to a two-day intensive debate skills training in Istanbul  16-17 September 2013. After the training, you will be part of a live debate panel with major political figures, also in Istanbul. Musabqat Munathara #DD9 is limited to Syrian nationals. All videos should be in Syrian Arabic. You must hold a valid passport and be able to travel to Turkey should your Bold Proposal be selected. "Musabqat Munathara #DD9 is limited to Syrian nationals.
