The young journalist Hana Jamal – in her twenties – was not able to accept the opinions she opposes, and although she respects others, she had not acquired the skills of dialogue and debate, until she joined the youth debate project implemented by Sheba Youth Foundation for Development in partnership with Manasati 30.

Security and Specialty
“Because it is the opportunity that I have always wished for, which is to join training courses in the art of debate, being a fan of the art of debate and a follower of YouTube debates, as well as a media student.” This is how Hana Jamal justifies her joining the project, adding: “Mastering the art of debate supports me in my field, so I wanted to be trained in this art and to master it.” and its application as a societal culture.
Hana believes that “any training affects the trainee,” stressing that the debate training she received in the project made her follow chronic plans, and “made me more committed and respectful of time, other opinion, and difference.”

Opportunities
The training corrected the skills of the participants in the project in “many arts, namely the art of recitation, body language, research and investigation, and the art of persuasion and listening” according to Hana, who acquired many theoretical and practical skills, as she confirms.
Participation here in the project opened the door of opportunities for her, explaining: “I got opportunities in many trainings after the debate training that introduced me to the audience.”

Message for the Girls
Hana, who is now striving to become a regional debater, sent an important message to the girls saying: “Whatever the obstacles and priorities are, you must leave room for yourself to develop them in any training courses that benefit you, and you must seize any opportunities that are presented to you, and apply in the courses that are offered on social networking sites.”
Hana concludes by saying, “We need active women in society, so do not stop at one side or in one field“.
