'''Dima Abou Abdou''' is very interested in the political domain especially middle eastern politics, and civil rights. With Lebanon struggling to find a certain political stability since the end of the civil war in 1990, its citizens have also been struggling to maintain a certain kind of democracy. With constant violations of civil and human rights it has become a difficult, yet not impossible task, that could be completed through youth education and programs aiming at highlighting the importance of democracy.

Before entering this field, in USJ, he was in the sacred heart school in the economy and sociology specialty. She was student body president for as long as she remember because she loved handling conflicts between students and the administration in the most "democratic" way possible.

'''Rana Habr''' is a chief in the scouts, a waitress and a very active member in an NGO. It' s called "Hayda Baytak" and its' mission is to raise enough money to cover scholarly fees of kid who have lost either of both parents. These activities made her a strong believer that change can be made; one day, one person and one little task at a time. In fact, the main reason why she entered law school was to try and work her way into the system and how it' s being dealt with.

'''Rana Habr''' try to apply everything that she learn into my way to handle things, and see things; especially our political and judicial issues. The way she sees it, democracy, on paper, is the best way to handle things, and yet most of what is seen in Lebanon is a lack of efficiency in the governments tasks and to do lists. She hopes to help fix that one day throughout her career.

For example, she did an internship with a local anti-corruption NGO called “Sakker el Dekkenne”.

In addition to that, she did another internship at the Ministry of Environment (MoE) in Beirut, as well as several student jobs, one of which regarding child marriage in Lebanon among locals and refugees. As for her future plans, she is currently thinking of pursuing a Master’s degree in “Public Policy and Public Administration” at Concordia University in Montreal.

'''Rana Habr''' is a [[Shadow Participant]] of [[Karim Chalhoub]]. '''Rana Habr''' is a Lebanese law student in her third year. She was born in December 1996 and she is 20 years old. Before entering this field, in USJ, he was in the sacred heart school in the economy and sociology specialty. She was student body president for as long as she remember because she loved handling conflicts between students and the administration in the most "democratic" way possible.

'''Rana Habr''' is a chief in the scouts, a waitress and a very active member in an NGO. It' s called "Hayda Baytak" and its' mission is to raise enough money to cover scholarly fees of kid who have lost either of both parents. These activities made her a strong believer that change can be made; one day, one person and one little task at a time. In fact, the main reason why she entered law school was to try and work her way into the system and how it' s being dealt with.

'''Rana Habr''' try to apply everything that she learn into my way to handle things, and see things; especially our political and judicial issues. The way she sees it, democracy, on paper, is the best way to handle things, and yet most of what is seen in Lebanon is a lack of efficiency in the governments tasks and to do lists. She hopes to help fix that one day throughout her career.

'''Nour Makhlouf''' is 21 year old Lebanese citizen and was born in Lebanon on February 8th, 1996 and has just graduated a couple of days ago from the “Université Saint Joseph” in Beirut with a Bachelor Degree in Political and Administrative Sciences. He chose this major because he have always believed in the power of democracy and he also wanted to learn more about it and see how it could be implemented in war-torn or divided countries such as Lebanon.

'''Nour Makhlouf''' has done several internships that have opened his eyes to the many problems that Lebanon is currently facing and that need to be tackled in order for the country to become a proper democracy. For example, he did an internship with a local anti-corruption NGO called “Sakker el Dekkenne”. It became clearer for him after this internship how corrupt Lebanon is and how much it lacks transparency. In addition to that, he did another internship at the Ministry of Environment (MoE) in Beirut, as well as several student jobs, one of which regarding child marriage in Lebanon among locals and refugees. As for his future plans, he is currently thinking of pursuing a Master’s degree in “Public Policy and Public Administration” at Concordia University in Montreal.
