About me
Hey, welcome! My name is Omezzine Khelifa and this is my official website 🙂 Here you will find my latest and oldest news in English, French and Arabic, the three languages of my most fluent expression. I hope you will enjoy what you find 😀 I have been initially trained as a Telecommunications engineer but life has awakened the activist in me - remember the Arab Uprisings in 2011?-, then put me in the shoes of a politician during the first years of the Tunisian transition to democracy. Today I am the founder and CEO of “Mobdiun – Creative Youth”, a social impact & civic innovation organization that inspires youth to lead change and help build a peaceful democracy in Tunisia. Mobdiun uses mainly art as an educational tool: theatre, music, dance, and painting.
