The Al Ain Youth Council has launched Al Ain Youth Week, set to take place from 14 to 20 July 2025, in conjunction with World Youth Skills Day on 15 July. The initiative aims to celebrate the skills of youth and strengthen their contribution to sustainable development.
This initiative aligns with the council's broader efforts to empower young people and enable their active participation in society. Through dedicated platforms and spaces, youth will be able to showcase their talents and initiatives across key sectors—reflecting the leadership’s vision that youth are the true wealth of the nation and architects of its future.
This year’s edition of Al Ain Youth Week focuses on several key themes: Positive Citizenship, Arabic Language, Sustainability and Environment, Artificial Intelligence, Talent and Arts, and Entrepreneurship. The initiative seeks to highlight inspiring youth-led success stories, encourage civic engagement, and foster strategic partnerships between public and private entities to support and develop national talent.
The week’s objectives include empowering youth to enhance their skills, increasing their presence across sectors, and spotlighting their impactful contributions—all contributing to a cohesive and innovative society rooted in national identity and pride.
The initiative targets youth between the ages of 15 and 35, as well as public and private institutions, academic entities, civil society organisations, and stakeholders interested in youth development and capacity-building.
To support the activation of the initiative, the Al Ain Youth Council will release a comprehensive guide to Al Ain Youth Week, offering a practical reference for institutions and individuals to implement meaningful and aligned activities. The council is also coordinating a city-wide youth agenda featuring dialogue sessions, entrepreneurial and artistic exhibitions, training workshops, and interactive initiatives.
Al Ain Youth Week embodies a model of both direct and indirect collaboration between governmental and private entities—reinforcing the spirit of collective responsibility in empowering the next generation.
Nasser Mohammed Al Baloushi, Vice President of the Al Ain Youth Council, said: "We believe that investing in the capabilities of youth is an investment in the future of our nation. Al Ain Youth Week reflects this national direction by providing spaces and opportunities for young people to showcase their skills and contribute meaningfully to a united and forward-looking society."
The Al Ain Youth Council calls on all institutions and individuals in the city to participate in celebrating youth—whether by organising relevant initiatives or joining ongoing activities—as a collective affirmation of their essential role in shaping the future.
