This meeting was moderated by Dr. Al Mahdi Al Azouzi, a lawyer at the Fes Bar Association and a doctor of law and a visiting professor at the Faculty of Law in Fes, where he gave a scientific analytical intervention in which he addressed the transformations experienced by the national and international political scene, focusing on the position of youth in formulating public policies, the importance of renewing political discourse in a way that is consistent with the expectations of the rising generations, and the necessity of upgrading party action to the level of creating elites capable of framing, advocacy, and initiative. Dr. Al Azouzi stressed that political transformation can only be achieved by involving youth in decision-making mechanisms, qualifying them cognitively and skillfully, while developing party work tools to suit the digital and social transformations that the contemporary world is experiencing. The meeting also included an intervention by Dr. Nourredine Moudian, the parliamentary representative for the Al Hoceima region, who in his speech emphasized the importance of investing in youth human capital, and considering youth as a key partner in democratic building, stressing that the renewal of political discourse should be accompanied by renewal in practice, based on linking responsibility with accountability, and strengthening the mechanisms of monitoring and evaluation in public policies, to ensure the efficiency of public performance and restore confidence in political and institutional work. In the context of activating the communicative and framing dimension, copies of the parliamentary work of the Istiqlal Unity and Equality team in the House of Representatives for the legislative year 2024-2025 were distributed during the meeting, which reviewed the team's most prominent achievements at the level of legislation, oversight and evaluation of public policies, in addition to its presence in parliamentary diplomacy and the defense of national issues. Copies of the book of the eighty-second anniversary of the presentation of the Independence Demand Document (January 11, 1944) were also distributed, in recalling the historical and national dimension of the independence movement, and linking the current moment to its struggle and institutional depth. The meeting witnessed an open interactive discussion, through which the attendees expressed their involvement in public affairs, confirming the importance of such framing initiatives in strengthening political awareness and consolidating the culture of participation and responsibility. This meeting comes within the framework of the communicative dynamics adopted by the Istiqlal Youth Organization in Al Hoceima, which aims to frame youth and keep pace with political transformations with a critical and constructive vision.
