CALL FOR IDEAS

Mohamed Almajbri , from Benghazi, member of the Rugby 2018, and Noor Gleasa, from Tripoli, a member of the ‘I am Tawfik’ organisation, were selected by PCi to join a Libyan delegation for a learning visit to the UK in November 2015. The choice was based on their proven ability to implement impactful initiatives engaging civil society and youth groups.
Mohamed and Noor were particularly impressed by the way civil society organisations and local councils in the UK work in partnership to foster social cohesion and civic engagement, promoting these values especially among young people.
On their return to Libya, they created a partnership between Rugby 2018, the Benghazi Municipality, the ‘I am Tawfik’ organisation, and the Suq al Juma Municipality (Tripoli). The Mayors of these two Municipalities had also attended the UK Learning Visit, and were keen to work with the two civil society groups to launch this project.
The Call for Ideas contest aimed to increase the civic engagement of young people by encouraging them to create and implement ideas that would make a positive contribution to their cities. Small grants, co-funded by the Municipalities, local businesses, and private donors, were awarded to the winning ideas.
