The IYDA was established in 2009 by a group of highly-motivated young Egyptians. Meanwhile, the IYDA has risen to a well-established organization, registered at the Egyptian Ministry of Social Solidarity as a non-profit, nongovernmental organization. We place the idea of cultural differences at the core of all activities. Convinced that intercultural understanding is a key condition for a more peaceful world, we believe in the essential value of cultural diversity. Implementing exchanges with Europe and the MEDA, we aim at improving intercultural dialogue to strengthen the importance of human rights among the Egyptian community and throughout the world.
