Danish – Egyptian CoCitYzen Dialogue Event |
In April 2007, Sahar met with a group of young Danes from CoCitYzen, an NGO interested in connecting young citizens of Copenhagen and Cairo. These energetic and friendly young people from Denmark were advised to contact Zero-net by our friends in the University of Roskilde who visited last December. During their stay in Cairo, Sahar joined them for dinner at Azhar Park on 30 March, and again on 4 April for a half day workshop on How to Be a Good Global Citizen with Zero-net as a case study. The group consisted of 30 young people in their 20’s and 30’s from Denmark and Egypt. The rich discussion during the workshop resulted in a lot of valuable learning for everyone involved. We look forward to staying in touch and cooperating on cross-cultural projects in the year ahead… more
