Young Arab Voices (YAV) is a programme jointly developed and managed by British Council and the Anna Lindh Foundation. The programme was launched in October 2011 in Egypt, Tunisia and Jordan in response to the historic events and changes that took place in the region then expanded into Libya, Algeria and Morocco. YAV aims at promoting public voice, increasing youth skills for public debate as well as providing them with platforms from diverse backgrounds.
