Our Programs
What We Do
Five program pillars to build the next generation of Mediterranean policy leaders.
Bridging cultures, building dialogue
Chill-Chat
An informal dialogue series bringing together young people from across North Africa to discuss pressing policy issues in a relaxed, accessible format. Sessions are streamed live and archived.
Policy dialogue at the regional level
NAPI-MEI Roundtables
Structured policy roundtables organized with the Middle East Institute (MEI), bringing together government officials, civil society leaders, and academics to discuss governance, security, and economic reform.
Empowering the next generation of policy thinkers
Young Policy Leaders
A competitive fellowship that trains emerging policy analysts from North Africa. Fellows spend six months researching a policy issue, mentored by senior experts, and produce an original policy brief.
Amplifying youth perspectives on policy
Youth Voices
A platform for young North Africans to contribute opinion pieces, multimedia content, and grassroots research, ensuring youth perspectives are part of the regional policy conversation.
Leadership
Young Policy Leaders
A nine-month capacity-building and mentorship program for young people passionate about understanding and addressing public policy challenges in their community and beyond.
Knowledge
Training Workshops
NAPI was founded at the intersection of academia, civil society, and governance by professional researchers, educators, and practitioners. Rooted in deep educational expertise, our team puts participatory learning at the core of our work. Over the years, we have developed dozens of training modules that equip young people with the skills to become globally aware, critical thinkers, and active citizens.
Civic Values & Creativity
Art4Civics
Art 4 Civics is a project that benefits from NAPI's experience with art teaching and youth civic education. It aims at diffusing violence, teaching civic values, and fostering civic engagement among school-age youth (12-19 y.o) through art. It consists of 10 training modules, each composed of 1 to 5 two-hour sessions. Every module introduces young people to a social issue and a new art technique (e.g., collage, repurposing, drawing, painting, engraving, sculpting, etc.). The instructor teaches participants a given art technique and invites them to apply it in exploring a social theme, giving expression to their own feelings and perspectives. This approach allows young people to reflect on and discuss sensitive social issues indirectly via art and interpret them through their own unique lens.
