Dubai Youth Council, in collaboration with the Knowledge and Human Development Authority Youth Council, marked International Youth Day with the ‘Dubai Youth Lab,’ bringing together over 60 young professionals and senior government leaders to co-create solutions for national priorities.
Held at The Executive Council’s General Secretariat, the event simulated real government decision-making, enabling youth to analyse pressing challenges and propose actionable strategies. Key figures including Dr. Sultan Al Neyadi, Minister of State for Youth Affairs, and Abdulla Al Basti, Secretary General of The Executive Council of Dubai, emphasised the leadership’s commitment to empowering youth as vital partners in the nation’s development.
Participants worked in groups on critical topics such as education reform, mental health, and employment, presenting proposals to a panel of experts. These ideas will be documented and reviewed by relevant authorities to shape future policies and initiatives.
Officials highlighted the Lab as a dynamic platform for youth engagement, blending innovation, leadership training, and policy development to ensure Dubai’s continued growth through the energy and creativity of its young population.
