GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — In cooperation with the Palestinian Youth Advocacy Network (PYAN), the House of Wisdom Institute (HOW) organized a conference titled “Palestinian Youth: Between the Challenges of Reality and the Aspirations for Change” Nov. 20 in the Gaza Strip. The conference discussed a number of working papers offered by youth activists and specialists targeting three topics: the integration between society and youth, the new media, and youth and the political landscape.

PYAN, a component of HOW, is an elite body of youth activists with the common objectives of introducing the Palestinian cause to youth and bringing to them a deepened awareness of the Palestinian reality. It seeks to build a cadre of politically empowered youth capable of contributing to the Palestinian political establishment and to establish the culture of law and political partnership as political tools to achieve development.
