The committee’s
rapporteur, Senator Samir Bino, said the meeting, which was held in cooperation
with Jordan National Democratic Institute, is part of its activities that aim
to inform it about various youth-related issues, plans and programs, especially
those related to political life.
The committee,
which is headed by Senator Rabiha Dabbas, seeks to encourage young people to
get involved in various aspects of political life by providing an appropriate
environment for participation and overcoming obstacles that could curb their
engagement, Bino said.
Bosc spoke about
Canada’s practices in integrating young people in the political life, including
by launching a series of activities and programs; foremost among these activities
is interaction with the House of Commons website.
Canada also
launched a student-based training program and organized school tours to the
House of Commons, aimed to familiarize young people with parliamentary works,
Bosc pointed out.
He said efforts
were made to focus on developing the educational content of the House of
Commons official website, run by an advisory committee consisting of 12
volunteers, targeting youth and school students.
To orchestrate efforts
and ensure transparency, he said Canada’s three parliamentary councils work
together to provide “coherent and seamless” information, adding that their
technical infrastructure is funded, supplied and maintained by the House of
Commons.
