It is worth mentioning that the BA hosts the Youth and Environment Program: “Youth for Environmental Sustainability and Better Understanding” and “League of Young Masters”. The website www.yesbu.com has also been launched, including online lectures, educational activities, links to youth blogs, in addition to chat programs and building bridges between Arab youth.
