The main objective of the workshop was to improve the Arab young liberals’ programmatic knowledge about liberalism and, at the same time, also their facilitation skills. Young liberals from Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and host country Egypt attended the workshop.

Following the training at Ain Souchna, the group moved to Cairo for a well attended public debate on "The role of Liberalism in the solution of youth problems". In their talks, the young liberals identified youth unemployment, political disenchantment and lack of political participation as their main common challenges. As possible liberal solutions they proposed market reforms for more growth and development, the opening of the political systems to encourage the youth to get involved and platform based politics to increase the level and quality of political discourse in their respective countries.

The Ain Souchna and Cairo events were the first of their kind to bring together young liberal Arab activists involved in party politics. "It makes much sense for a liberal political Foundation involved in the promotion of liberal principles in the Arab world to work with these young people", said FNF Regional Director Dr. Ronald Meinardus, who attended both meetings and expressed the Foundation’s intention  to continue the support for liberal youth activism in this part of the world.
