بالشهر الماضي، شاركت ساسة في لقاء إقليمي مهم في تونس جمع قيادات شبابية من مختلف دول المنطقة لإعادة تصور مستقبل المشاركة السياسية والديمقراطية. مثل فريقنا العراق بصوت قوي، حيث حوّل الشباب الحوار إلى فعل، وأسّسوا شبكة عابرة للحدود تستند إلى القيم الديمقراطية والتعاون في المنطقة.

How can AI help young Iraqis shape their future? At SASA, we trained a new generation of researchers to use AI in building policy and research rooted in integrity. This is more than training—it’s a step toward youth-led transformation in Iraq.

At SASA, we believe young Iraqis must be at the heart of social and political reform. Our latest workshop equipped emerging researchers with #AI tools to drive ethical, evidence-based change—because sustainable solutions begin with empowered #Iraq youth...
