I can say that I feel a deep inclination to educational sciences. Christian is a medical student who considers medical studies as part of his past: “Since I joined the team, I have been seriously considering abandoning medical school and embarking in a new study field.

Anne is a 20-year Danish Scout leader who has decided to take a yearlong break in her education in order to broaden her horizons and learn new skills through volunteering. In May 2012, the youth leaders drove all the way to Denmark crossing a number of European territories to continue spreading their positive energy collaborating with seven Scandinavian local Scout groups.Īnne-Katherine, Christian, Nourredine, Lea, Maher and Fouad are the main Scout volunteers who have been involved in the project so far. The road trip on the bus started from the south of Tunisia and the expedition has made its way through the country towards the north to eventually reach Tunis, the capital city of Tunisia. As part of this initiative a joint bus tour around Tunisia was undertaken and this exploratory travel is still in progress. Funds were granted and youth leaders from Tunisian and Danish Scouts were given training in Denmark.

Through care and perseverance they obtained support from the Danish Youth Council (DUF).

Two committees comprising of young Scouts collaborating together, one from Denmark and one from Tunisia drafted the project proposal. This objective will be achieved through strengthening the leadership abilities of young people, increasing their involvement in society and encouraging respect of cultural differences. The objective of the first project - Reaching Out to Local Communities - is to develop and empower local communities, primarily in the underprivileged regions of Tunisia and also in the local areas in Denmark.
