One of the guiding academic voices behind YMI is Professor Habib Tiliouine<\/strong>, a renowned scholar in social and educational psychology at the University of Oran2 in Algeria<\/strong>. With nearly four decades of experience and numerous international publications on well-being, quality of life, and childhood development, Tiliouine brings a deeply rooted and culturally sensitive perspective to the YMI initiative.<\/p>\n

A global need<\/h3>\n

One frequent critique of frameworks like YMI is their perceived Western or Nordic bias. But Tiliouine challenges this notion head-on. \u201cThis isn\u2019t an Occidental crisis,\u201d<\/em> he insists. \u201cIt\u2019s a global, human crisis<\/strong>\u2014manifesting differently across cultures but rooted in a shared need for purpose and belonging.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He points out that in collectivistic societies such as those in North Africa and the Middle East, traditional support structures are evolving. The shift from extended to nuclear family units, rising individualism, and youth disillusionment have created new existential questions<\/strong>. \u201cEven in Islamic contexts, young people are reinterpreting religion, questioning inherited norms, and seeking a meaningful life on their own terms,\u201d<\/em> he says\u200b.<\/em><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”b99adb6f-a347-4e25-a12f-4535b3514ef9″ text_font=”Muller Normal||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size_tablet=”18px” text_font_size_phone=”18px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” inline_fonts=”Muller Normal” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Religion, Education, and the Pursuit of Purpose<\/h3>\n

Tiliouine emphasizes the spiritual and cultural dimensions of meaning<\/strong>, particularly in societies where religion remains deeply embedded in daily life. \u201cIn many Islamic countries, religion provides a frame of reference that helps youth understand their place in the world,\u201d<\/em> he explains. \u201cBut that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s static\u2014young people are looking for new ways to connect with these values.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He also underlines the importance of education\u2014not merely as schooling but as empowerment<\/strong>. \u201cEducation equips youth with the competencies to face life\u2019s challenges and reflect on their purpose,\u201d<\/em> he says. \u201cIt\u2019s about nurturing a mindset, not just transferring knowledge.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The YMI Youth Council, is an international platform for youth engagement and empowerment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With 13 members spanning Austria, Cyprus, Peru, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Egypt, Uganda, Morocco, Kenya, and Nigeria, aged between 14 and 24, the YMI Youth Council embodies inclusivity on a global scale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a collaborative space where ideas are shared, decisions are made, and voices are heard. The Youth Council consists of diverse members representing various genders including female, male, and non-binary individuals. Additionally, our group comprises both working young professionals and students, ensuring a rich tapestry of perspectives and experiences.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The role of the YAC is to help create the YMI by coming together and sharing ideas, providing feedback, supporting on decision-making processes, and speaking up for what\u2019s important to them. The YAC will be involved in the different stages of the project, including the co-creation of the YMI tool, interpretation of YMI results, and the development of recommendations for the formulation of public policies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The YAC supports the YMI Team in:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Providing feedback to the YMI<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Disseminating the YMI in their networks<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Helping make decisions<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Making sure youth voices are heard<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Before engaging in the YMI, members of the YAC took part in two empowerment training sessions, enriching their skills and knowledge. They learn how to use their voices and that their opinions count.<\/span><\/p>\n
