Mideast Youth is a regional not-for-profit organization focused on amplifying voices of dissent throughout the Middle East and North Africa via digital media. Founded in Bahrain, the organization "creates platforms and web applications that promote freedom of expression and social justice."〔(Mideast Youth About Page ).〕 The network's activity is driven by the passion for civil engagement, freedom of speech, tolerance, supporting religious and ethnic minorities, raising awareness, and employing innovative solutions to these pervasive and persistent problems due to censored media, thus breaking the boundaries between the MENA nations and giving room for critical free thinking and exchange of information between people via the internet, connecting them to one another. Mideast Youth, which relies on open source platforms, like WordPress and Ruby on Rails, was launched in 2006 by Esra'a Al-Shafei as a simple group-blogging idea. However, it has changed course to focus on the development of unique applications and tools.〔(Mideast Youth Portfolio of Projects ).〕 The platforms have a growing amount of media coverage worldwide.〔(The Official Mideast Youth Press Room )〕 == Objectives and Means == Mideast Youth Network's content, in addition to its projects and applications, is free open source content to ensure right to access information for everyone. Mideast Youth uses a broad spectrum of social media tools, ranging from written blogs, podcasts, vlogs, comics, video animation and pictures to live broadcasting through radio. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mideast Youth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
