Al Dhafra Youth Council strengthens community impact with Youth Imprint
Youth Imprint is the first of its kind to activate the role of youth councils at this level of organization and integration within the Liwa International Festival, reflecting the evolution of institutional youth engagement models and their growing role in supporting major national events and strengthening community impact.
The initiative was launched in collaboration with more than 15 partners from the ministerial, governmental, and private sectors, in addition to youth councils, as part of efforts to empower youth and enhance their active participation in community life, support institutional partnerships, and strengthen integration across sectors to reinforce the community role of young people.
The initiative also included the launch of the first Tebah Challenge at the Liwa International Festival and a Padel Tournament for Youth Councils, which contributed to strengthening communication and integration among youth councils nationwide, reinforcing concepts of teamwork and positive competition.
The initiative also featured several youth circles that addressed key community issues, including sessions entitled From the Year of Community to the Year of Family, and Youth Challenges with Awareness and Responsibility, enhancing young people’s awareness of their role in supporting social cohesion and reinforcing positive values.
