FLAGSHIP PROGRAMMES
Active Citizenship by Artificial Intelligence, "Participation in Municipal Work," is a youth-led initiative implemented by Unity Up as part of the Young Civil Society Leadership Program (YSCLP) by the Anna Lindh Foundation in partnership with Med Dialogue with Rights and Equality Program and Global DAI. The initiative aimed to promote good governance by fostering the relationship between municipalities, citizens, and youth through an AI app named "Baladiyati," which was designed by the founder of Unity Up in her role as YSCL.
The initiative was implemented between July and September 2024 and included three in-person workshops in different regions of Lebanon (Sin El Fil, Jbeil, and Akkar) and one online session for youth in Bekaa and Southern Lebanon. This was in collaboration with 12 partners from the Union of Municipalities, various municipalities, nonprofit organizations, and the Educational Technology Syndicate in Lebanon, along with 10 Lebanese experts who joined us to work together on raising awareness about the important role of using AI in promoting municipal work, as well as the roles of citizens, youth, and digital citizenship, with an ethical and responsible approach.
A total of 94 participants joined us, and the workshops were followed by a social media campaign.
