Chasing Stars on the Road Kicks off with The First Road Trip in Northern Tunisia
On 6 and 7 September, 15 EU Jeel Connectors and a member of the #InTheirEyesCommunity embarked on a journey through northern Tunisia as part of the "Chasing Stars on the Road" initiative. This trip, the first of its kind in the Southern Neighbourhood, allowed the group to visit various EU-funded projects and learn first-hand about their impact on local communities and their innovative contributions in key areas.
The trip started in Tunis and took the group to rural areas in Beja, Ain Draham, Jendouba and Kef, where they learnt about the remarkable work of rural women entrepreneurs and cooperatives who are revitalising traditional crafts and industries with innovative techniques and sustainable practices.

Celebrating the Impact of EU Jeel Connectors in Morocco
Two EU Jeel Connectors from Morocco, Lahcen and Abderrahim, organised events to raise awareness about issues that are close to their hearts.
Lahcen El Mejdoubi organised the “Ride for the Ocean: Coastal Cleanup Campaign", a project that combines environmental protection with community action. The initiative included a bike ride along the stunning coastline of Tangier, where participants collected rubbish from the beaches to promote sustainability and marine conservation.
Meanwhile, Abderrahim Baalla hosted a two-day programme in Agadir to encourage budding sports entrepreneurs. This event provided participants with essential knowledge, skills and resources to succeed in the sports industry. The programme was packed with activities that informed, inspired and motivated participants to take a leadership role in sports innovation and entrepreneurship.
