Jounieh: 28 Nov, 29 Nov & 6 Dec 2023
The “M.O.N. Green Future” forum, attended by 670 participants, has emerged as a catalyst for progress in promoting sustainable development. This event is organized by Semeurs d’Avenir and is funded by AICS- Italian Agency for Cooperation and Development, alongside with the DGTVET support in Lebanon.
