Leading members of youth wings of Arab liberal political parties and liberal youth activists from the Arab world assembled in Ain Souchna, Egypt, from May, 3 - 7,  2008 for a workshop titled "Communicating Liberalism: Moderation Training for Multipliers". The activity was cosponsored by the Egyptian NGO Youth Contribution for Social Aid and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Liberty (FNF) and brought together, for the first time, young political leaders belonging to member parties of the Network of Arab Liberals (NAL).

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.

First Vice-President of the NAL-member Democratic Front Party (DFP) Dr. Ashraaf Balbaa attended the Cairo forum together with DFP-Secretary General Mrs. Margrit Azer. In attendance at the workshop was also a young member of the Lebanese Moustakbal which is not affiliated with NAL.
