He will get to talk to young people, do you think it's important that he talks to the young people?, are young people going through difficulties? and what would you want the young people to share with him? 

Fadi

I encourage the young people to open their hearts and to share what is the fear from the future, we are like Palestinian because we have many issues like refugees where is the next step through  like politics, like economic facing the young adult and thinking I want to go out (the country) to see my future. But its good the young adults open their hearts and to share the fear and what they are facing in a difficult situation.
