UAE- In the first event of its kind in the MENA region, in the presence of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Connec ME Education brought together the world’s top youth empowerment organizations to exchange out-of-the-box ideas that will help the region graduate to a smart new era of cultural and educational development. This historic event took place today(May 27th) at 11am at Rosewood Hotel, Abu Dhabi.
Mohammad Mahfouz Shadid: CEO of Connec ME Education said: “Over half of the MENA region’s population is aged under 25 years, so by empowering youths we are actually uplifting the entire region. When you train a youth, you are developing an entire generation. These are not just the leaders of tomorrow but the leaders of today, because we are seeing very young achievers changing the world in business, technology, media, social activism, education and other fields.”
Connec ME Education, together with its business partners will empower youth in the MENA region for them to reach endless possibilities in this challenging business around the globe. When we take care of the youth, we are looking to a bright and better future.
Elaborating on the expected benefits from this event, Ms. Mariam Omran Al Hallami, Chief Operation Officer of Connec ME Education, said: “We are bringing the very best organizations in the field because our region must learn from the best to be the best. Our youths have the advantage of being highly tech-savvy, very comfortable with using apps, very active on social media and they have their fingers on the pulse of the latest trends worldwide. When you add the region’s high internet, mobile and social media penetration rates, there is no reason why our youths can’t take the lead globally by learning smarter, faster and easier.” With the youth empowered, we are looking at a bright and better generation.
Connec ME Education aims to make the region’s youth to be globally competitive by providing technology-driven solutions for education and vocational training, in synergy with its international partners.
