In its fourth successful year, the final session of the 2023-2024 Liberal International Democratic Training Academy (LIDTA) took place in Rabat, Morocco on April 26-28, 2024 with the participations of young liberal leaders spanning 6 countries.
In addition to the interactive training sessions with experts from Europe and the MENA region, the students visited the Moroccan parliament, the royal palace and had a dynamic discussion with LI’s President Hakima el Haite and Secretary General William Townsend on political developments across the region.
Centering on development of the students’ personal story in the context of political campaigning, the LIDTA students also had an opportunity to engage with LI staff intern Morris Liemola, who was an elected board member of the Svenske Ungdom and has run for parliament in Finland.
Celebrating the conclusion of the 6-month programme that saw additional training sessions in Romania and Turkey lead trainer Karima Bouchtaoui presented the young liberals with their certificates at the graduation ceremony on Sunday.
Calls for the 2024-25 programme will be advertised later this year and interested participants are invited to review the LIDTA page on our website:
