Bahrain's Minister of Youth Affairs, H.E. Mrs. Rawan bint Najeeb Tawfiqi, reaffirmed the Kingdom's strong commitment to empowering young people and positioning them as central figures in driving positive transformation and sustainable progress. Speaking at the 9th Global Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Conference and Exhibition, currently being hosted by Bahrain, the minister stressed the growing need for global collaboration and strategic cross-disciplinary partnerships to address today's urgent challenges. 'In a rapidly changing world, it is crucial to channel the energy of youth towards creating sustainable solutions, particularly in environmental innovation and digital transformation,' she said. National Initiatives Driving Youth Engagement Minister Tawfiqi showcased several of Bahrain's leading initiatives that aim to empower young people and align with the Kingdom's sustainable development goals. One such initiative is the Bahrain Science Center for Sustainable Development Goals, founded in 2018. This innovative educational hub is designed to raise environmental awareness and promote clean energy practices. By integrating eco-friendly technologies, the center encourages young people to adopt sustainable habits and lead by example. Youth City 2030: A Hub of Innovation and Skill-Building Another flagship program, Youth City 2030, was highlighted as one of the most ambitious national youth initiatives in Bahrain. Over a six-week period, the program offers an immersive and interactive learning environment that includes workshops in science, technology, media, arts, and entrepreneurship. 'Youth City 2030 equips young individuals with essential tools and skills to thrive in the future workforce and contribute actively to public life,' the minister explained. A National Strategy with Global Vision These initiatives, she noted, form part of a wider framework under Bahrain's National Youth Empowerment Strategy, which aims to create a nurturing and innovative environment for youth to grow, express, and lead. The strategy is rooted in principles of inclusion, innovation, and active participation. Minister Tawfiqi also revealed Bahrain's efforts to expand youth development initiatives beyond its borders through sustainable partnerships and collaborative projects. These efforts are in line with the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, to which Bahrain remains firmly committed. Youth as Architects of Tomorrow In closing, Minister Tawfiqi emphasized that youth are not only participants in today's world but also architects of tomorrow. 'Young people are essential partners in shaping a safer, more sustainable future. Investing in their potential and equipping them with innovation and knowledge is the cornerstone of any true developmental transformation,' she concluded.
