Meeting with Students from CHanGE Program in Belgium through UCOS

The University Centre for Development Cooperation in Belgium (UCOS) is a Belgian NGO that promotes sustainable human development and global citizenship among Belgian higher-education students. It pursues this goal by organizing courses, seminars, training sessions, and international exchanges for students.

One of UCOS’s main projects is CHanGE (Campaign for Sexual Health and Gender Equality), through which it supports students in the struggle for global gender equality and access to sexual and reproductive health and rights. Each year, UCOS works intensively with a group of young CHanGEmakers, offering them an intensive preparation process before they travel to partner countries around the globe.

After meeting with a UCOS representative a few months earlier, LebMASH was put in contact with several CHanGEmakers who visited Lebanon and our offices. They met with our executive director, Souad Al Challah, and expressed interest in assisting LebMASH through internship opportunities. We look forward to working with them.
