In the light of the recent Arab uprisings which spanned throughout the Arab World, toppling Presidents and overthrowing regimes, it became critical for each and every country to adopt a new approach towards policy making and legislation. Leading a nation is not the scared privilege of a certain government or party, but as it proved to be during the last years’ revolutions, is a consensual and coop
erative effort which includes the vast array of the political and the social spectrum of the nation. Part of the groups, which in the past neglected, has strongly affirmed its say through a massive campaign and an active involvement in the recent uprisings: Youth! Youth have been side lined in favor of a closed and elitist branch of the Moroccan society, thus having no say in how the country operates or what the government priorities should be in the different social, economic and political domains. It is time for youth, however young and inexperienced they are, to expose their ideas and ideals on an open forum, and make from these opinion and recommendations a raw material able to be processed by the authorities in such a way that it becomes politically, socially and financially applicable. The Moroccan Institute for Youth Policy Making is a Think Tank which regroups Moroccan students in and outside of Morocco, a Think Tank with a vision shared by each and every one of us Moroccans: Let youth have their say on how Morocco ought to be shaped and sculpted. The Think Tank is an open forum for discussion, debate and contribution with ideas and recommendation to the different organs of the Moroccan authorities. The Moroccan Institute for Youth Policy Making is a true intellectual hub which regroups one of the finest conglomerations of Moroccan students both in High School and University, a center for creative ideas generation meant to be a landmark in the development of the involvement of youth in Policy making of their nation.
