The essays received were evaluated by a panel that includes the prominent journalist Mohamed Said Mahfouz, as well as Noha EL-Nahas the communication manager at DEDI and CEFP program coordinator. The awards reception was held on 27th July, 2016 to honor the top three winners as well as ten most distinguished essays. The first winner was awarded by electronic reading devices while the second and third runners got books’ vouchers. Hans Christian DEDI director and Mohamed Saied Mahfouz handed the certificates to the young writers after an interesting discussion on civic education challenges and opportunities.
