I.    Background
The Centre has recently developed a new strategy under its human rights education portfolio to promote human rights education for and by youth. Following several meetings with the WOSM in the Arab region and participating in some of them, a need to develop a concept note highlighting the areas of potential cooperation has emerged.  
In the years 2023 and 2024, the Centre participated in both the World Organization of the Scout Movement’s 33rd Arab regional gathering at Marmum Camp, United Arab Emirates, and the World Scout Conference held in Cairo. The first event, and as part of the “Sustainable Approach of Scouting” theme, the Centre conducted workshops and showcased educational materials aligned with the fourth Phase of the World Programme for Human Rights Education. The participants also engaged in participatory activities promoting inclusion, diversity, and human rights awareness. As for the Conference in Cairo, the Centre participated by delivering human rights workshops under its youth human rights education portfolio. The Centre jointly with OHCHR headquarters in Geneva organized interactive sessions introducing Scouts to the principles of human rights and equipped Scout educators with tools to replicate human rights workshops in their national organizations. Overall, these events benefited 1,423 participants, including 130 women, from 17 countries. The Centre also set up a booth at the Humanitarian Action Exhibition and coordinated OHCHR’s broader participation at the conference.
