:''This article is about a Kuwaiti youth organization called the Youth Association of Kuwait. The National Democratic Youth Association is its former name.'' The Youth Association of Kuwait ((アラビア語: رابطة الشباب الكويتي)) is the mainstream nationalist youth organization in Kuwait which was founded in 2009 under the name National Democratic Youth Association. It aims at building a new generation of Kuwaitis that are interested in community service and helping youth achieve their goals. Also, the association is concerned with youth issues such as education, unemployment and youth activism. == History == A group of young nationalists discussed establishing a youth organization in 2006 to improve the cultural and social situation of youth, thus they established the nucleus of what was known later as the National Democratic Youth Association.〔Alawadhi, Ali. ''Declaration of Establishment of the National Democratic Youth Association''. Altaleea Newspaper, May 10th 2006〕 While most organizations with political alignments backed the Nabeeha 5 electoral remapping campaign in 2006, the association opposed it because it saw it as an unfair redistribution that would marginalize sects of society.〔(Official Website post )〕 In 2009, the association held its first convention and elected an administrative body and approved its bylaws. After that it kick started its activities with a rigorous social agenda defending the freedom of thought by organizing a campaign and meeting members of parliament regarding the problem of unemployment and hidden unemployment with the help of the Graduates' Society and the Women's Cultural and Social Society. Also, the association worked hand-in-hand with other groups regarding human rights and other issues. 〔(Aljarida Newspaper article, Apr 22, 2009 )〕 In 2010, the association, along with the Union of Petroleum Workers and other civil societies, spearheaded a campaign against the government's then proposed privatization plan. It claimed that the plan would effectively destroy the middle and working classes of Kuwait in the long run, describing it as unconstitutional. After its second convention in 2011, the majority of members voted on changing the name of the organization to its current one and adopting social democracy as its ideology along with the Masaruna document. Also, the second convention elected Ahmed Soud (president), Mohammad Alhasan (vice-president), Ahmed Abdulraheem (secretary), Abdulwahab Alnajdi and Abdulghaphor Asirri. In early 2014, the association organized its third convention at the Women's Cultural and Social Society, appointing Abdulwahab Alnajdi as president of the executive board, Ebrahim Awadh as vice president, Ali Alsalem as secretary and Abdulghaphor Asirri as treasurer. In September 17, 2015, it gained recognition by the Kuwaiti Government and became an officially registered organization with the Ministry of Social Affairs.〔(Altaleea Newspaper press release, Nov 11, 2015 )〕 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「Youth Association of Kuwait」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
