Youth as Changemakers – University of Aleppo
The Stabilization Support Unit, in partnership with the Syrian Students’ Union, launched the “Changemakers” program, bringing together students from the Universities of Aleppo and Damascus, as part of a vision aimed at strengthening the role of university youth in building a more cohesive and open future for Syria.
The program includes a series of workshops and training sessions, alongside support for a number of student-led initiatives, enabling students to develop their skills and turn their ideas into initiatives that create a positive impact in their communities.
This initiative stems from the Stabilization Support Unit’s belief that Syrian youth are among the most important drivers of change, and that universities, which bring together students from diverse regions and backgrounds, provide an important space for communication, knowledge exchange, and building bridges of understanding among the different components of Syrian society.
Through “Changemakers,” we seek to empower young people to become ambassadors of positive messages and active partners in promoting dialogue, cooperation, and social cohesion, while contributing to leading change towards a better future across Syria.
The program represents a first step in a partnership that we hope will continue and expand, creating more opportunities for Syrian youth to participate in shaping change and building a more cohesive society.
