The “I Participate” Program

The “Ana Usharek – Universities” Program is an extracurricular initiative targeting students in Jordanian universities and colleges. It is one of the programs of the Independent Election Commission and is implemented through the Partnership Project.

The program focuses on building young people’s capacities in an integrated manner by developing skills in dialogue and communication, critical thinking, and understanding societal issues, while promoting conscious participation in public life. The program does not focus solely on the political dimension; rather, it addresses a range of themes related to building the character of students who are capable of expressing ideas, analyzing issues, making informed decisions, and interacting positively with their surroundings.
