Joint Arab projects in capacity-building, talent development, and investment in youth potential were also explored.
The agenda included strategies for turning regional challenges into opportunities by amplifying youth voices, engaging them in decision-making and policy development, and sharing best practices tailored to match the needs of Arab communities. The deliberations centred around strengthening cultural identity, deepening engagement with the Arabic language, and upholding values of humanity and responsible citizenship.
Interactive discussions and expert-led sessions examined ways to enhance youth participation in the private sector and entrepreneurship.
