  • Youth Participation in Public Life: Local Youth Councils
    7th Mediterranean university on youth and global citizenship (MedUni) Youth Participation in Public Life: Local Youth Councils 10-13 June 2019, Hammamet, Tunisia In the framework of the 7th Mediterranean University on Youth and Citizenship (MedUni) which took place in Hammamet from 10 to 16th June 2019, the OECD orgnised a workshop on how local youth councils can reinforce youth participation in public life. The workshop was organised in partnership with the Tunisian observatory of youth (ONJ) and the Tunisian Institute for Democracy and Development (ITDD) and gathered young representatives of the five pilot local youth councils in Tunisia (Testour, Kasserine, Ben Guerdane, Omrane Sup and Le Kef), local youth councils of Morocco (Assilah and El- Jedida) as well as representatives of CSOs engaged for youth participation at the local level in Jordan (Ruwwad for development and Motivators for training) and local youth council of Portugal (Gaia). Featuring interactive and dynamic sessions, the workshop allowed participants to exchange and learn about tools and mechanisms to maximise their participation through local youth councils. The OECD presented findings from the Youth Stocktaking report: Empowering Youth across the OECD – How to bridge the governance gap? and the Seven Key Findings from the MENA Youth Governance Survey along with good practices from OECD local youth councils. The ITDD provided simulations on key issues for local youth councils such as: public decision making at local level, project management and conflict resolution. In particular, participants were invited to take part in a simulation of a municipal council vote on a youth projects they developed in teams.

  • I Found Tunisia to Be Really "Other"
    May 2004 Northern Tunisia Anzie and I spent two weeks in Tunisia in May. Why Tunisia? It was a nostalgia trip. Anzie spent two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer there 30 years ago, 1972-74. She wanted to show me her Tunisia. We saw that plus a lot more, too much to give you all at once. One of my Dad's favorite sayings was: "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." So we have 3 bites: the first bite being northern Tunisia on the Mediterranean. I found Tunisia to be really "other". Since I'd never visited any Arab country besides Mauritania, I had never before experienced the feeling of total immersion in an Arab world. A majority of Tunisians speak French. However, the further you travel away from the major population centers in the North, the more Arab this world becomes. Eventually all the signs, menus and instructions are in Arabic; all of the music you hear is Arabic, as are the dress and the customs. It even becomes more difficult to find someone who speaks French. It's a land of ancient history, contrasts and gentility. There's Carthage, a city that competed with Rome to be the capital of Roman civilization, and lost. Remember Hannibal and the elephants? There's Djerba, the island made famous by Ulysses as the Land of the Lotus Eaters. We find evidence of more recent history in the rusting hulks of German tanks used by Rommel's forces in WWII. They resemble the corpses of dinosaurs rotting in the relentless desert sun.

  • Quelques Aspects Problematiques Dans La Transcription Des Toponymes Tunisiens
    QUELQUES ASPECTS PROBLEMATIQUES DANS LA TRANSCRIPTION DES TOPONYMES TUNISIENS Mohsen DHIEB Professeur de géographie (cartographie) Laboratoire SYFACTE FLSH de Sfax TUNISIE [email protected] Introduction Quelle que soit le pays ou la langue d’usage, la transcription toponymique des noms de lieux géographiques sur un atlas ou un autre document cartographique en particulier ou tout autre document d’une façon générale pose problème notamment dans des pays où il n’y a pas de tradition ou de « politique » toponymique. Il en est de même pour les contrées « ouvertes » à l’extérieur et par conséquent ayant subi ou subissant encore les influences linguistiques étrangères ou alors dans des régions caractérisées par la complexité de leur situation linguistique. C’est particulièrement le cas de la Tunisie, pays méditerranéen bien « ancré » dans l’histoire, mais aussi bien ouvert à l’étranger et subissant les soubresauts de la mondialisation, et manquant par ailleurs cruellement de politique toponymique. Tout ceci malgré l’intérêt que certains acteurs aux profils différents y prêtent depuis peu, intérêt matérialisé, entre autres manifestations scientifiques, par l’organisation de deux rencontres scientifiques par la Commission du GENUING en 2005 et d’une autre août 2008 à Tunis, lors du 35ème Congrès de l’UGI. Aussi, il s’agit dans le cadre de cette présentation générale de la situation de la transcription toponymique en Tunisie, dans un premier temps, de dresser l’état des lieux, de mettre en valeur les principales difficultés rencontrées en manipulant les noms géographiques dans leurs différentes transcriptions dans un second temps. En troisième lieu, il s’agit de proposer à l’officialisation, une liste-type de toponymes (exonymes et endonymes) que l’on est en droit d’avoir par exemple sur une carte générale de Tunisie à moyenne échelle.

  • Attractions) with Respect to What Is Lacking, and What the Tourist Desires
    b- Editions Kahia Tunis - Grafica Roma published by national office of tourism and societe tunisienne de banque a study of the existing and pc 4 ltential structure of tourism foreword Tourism in Tunisia is growing and has become both an important source of foreign exchange for the economy and source of employment for many towns and villages. The importance of foreign exchange and the potential of tourism has caused the Tunisian Government to devote a great deal of effort toward attracting an increasing number of visitors. It is believed that this industry, as it presently exists, and with development anticipated in the future, constitutes an excellent investment opportunity for American and foreign businessmen. Before further investments are made to accommodate additional tourists, it is essential that the potential market be examined to determine from what geographical area the tourists ori- ginate, their possible mode of transport, why they visit a particular area, what they spend, how long they stay, when they come, and how many visit the country. Once the pattern of the tourist market is known, interested investors can evaluate in detail, the region's resources (attractions) with respect to what is lacking, and what the tourist desires. When this determination is made, the process of creating new facilities should begin. The tourist resources of Tunisia, as described in this report, consist of the beauty of the landscape, the monuments of historic and cultural interest, and the existence of towns that are both attractive and able to furnish facilities for recreation, shopping, etc., while providing the necessary physical elements, viz., water, communications, power, etc., which are basic requirements essential to support hotels and related facilities.

  • Nostalgias in Modern Tunisia Dissertation
    Images of the Past: Nostalgias in Modern Tunisia Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David M. Bond, M.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Sabra J. Webber, Advisor Johanna Sellman Philip Armstrong Copyrighted by David Bond 2017 Abstract The construction of stories about identity, origins, history and community is central in the process of national identity formation: to mould a national identity – a sense of unity with others belonging to the same nation – it is necessary to have an understanding of oneself as located in a temporally extended narrative which can be remembered and recalled. Amid the “memory boom” of recent decades, “memory” is used to cover a variety of social practices, sometimes at the expense of the nuance and texture of history and politics. The result can be an elision of the ways in which memories are constructed through acts of manipulation and the play of power. This dissertation examines practices and practitioners of nostalgia in a particular context, that of Tunisia and the Mediterranean region during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Using a variety of historical and ethnographical sources I show how multifaceted nostalgia was a feature of the colonial situation in Tunisia notably in the period after the First World War. In the postcolonial period I explore continuities with the colonial period and the uses of nostalgia as a means of contestation when other possibilities are limited.

  • The Goletta: a Cosmopolitan Seaside Resort
    Athens Journal of Tourism - Volume 5, Issue 1 – Pages 21-35 The Goletta: A Cosmopolitan Seaside Resort By Adel Manai Though the history of seaside resorts has been on the agenda of socio-cultural historians for some time now, Tunisia has not had afair share of this history, despite its incorporation in French colonial tourist circles and later into the European and international tourist networks in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as well as its development into a popular tourist destination and a holiday market after its independence in the late 1950s. This paper is an attempt to unearth part of this history by focusing on one of the pioneering seaside resorts of Tunisia, the port town of the Goletta, more popularly known as “La Goulette” as the French put it in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It traces the early development of this watering place in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and analyses the factors thatcontributed to its growth into a popular seaside resort. Keywords: Tunisia, Goletta, Seaside Tourism, Seaside Resort, Globalization Introduction & Literature Review Tourism is one of the leading industries in Tunisia today.However, and even though Tunisia was among the first locations where such tourism expanded outside Europe, there is no clear and comprehensivehistorical account of how this tourism developed. General histories of tourism remain Eurocentric, still mainly dominated by the British pioneering experience, and mostly concerned with the nineteenth century (Zuelow 2015). Studies of North African tourism, including Tunisia, despite the ongoing development of this region as a major tourist destination, are scant.
