Yemeni Young Leaders Network

The Yemeni Young Leaders Network (YYLN) is a training scheme designed by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Yemen since 2013 for a selected group of young adults with the motivation and capability of assuming leadership positions in politics and public life. FES Yemen works with the young Yemenis on their political education programme to build a forum for open debates and to support them in developing their own perspectives, independent of a prevalent discourse of violence.

Young people who felt politically and economically marginalised and not taken seriously by those in power, played a significant role during the uprisings of 2010/11. More
