Doha, Qatar: The Gulf Creativity Forum kicked off at Ali Bin Hamad Al Attiyah Arena at Al Sadd Sports Club in Doha yesterday.
The event, organised by Doha Girls Centre in collaboration with the Youth Organ of Al Sadd Sports Club, is held under the mantra of Gulf energies and creative prospects, in pursuit of promoting the spirit of joint Gulf belonging.
Participating in this forum are a variety of young men and women from the GCC states, aiming to strengthen innovation and highlight the role of Gulf youth as powerful partners in societal development.
Sheikha Hussein, Director of the Doha Girls Centre, said this forum represents a platform that assembles Gulf young energies in a shared creative space that demonstrates the spirit of collaboration among the peoples of GCC nations.
The Centre, Hussein added, acknowledges that true investment starts from people, as young people are the core pillar of development who chart the future. She underscored that the Centre has long held that providing outstanding programmes and forums matters most in promoting innovation, honing skills, elevating learning, and sharing knowledge and inspiring experiences to new heights.
The forum stands as a space for conversation to showcase young initiatives as an opportunity for sharing successful expertise, Hussein noted, emphasizing that it would foster the shared Gulf identity, as well as values of cooperation, giving, and societal responsibility.
Speaking to Qatar News Agency (QNA), Head of the Youth Organ at Al Sadd Sports Club, Maryam Al Yousef, said this hosting is intended to support youth initiatives, foster youth projects, as well as consolidate communication and the sharing of expertise among innovators from GCC nations.
The forum, she added, has been a rich platform to showcase inspiring youth experiences, including six initiatives and six projects from GCC nations, which together demonstrate promising young energies and creative perspectives capable of making a positive impact on Gulf societies.
Al Yousef further noted that the Youth Department at Al Sadd Club is set to launch its summer programme from July 4 until mid-August, within a vision aimed at delivering high-quality programs that combine knowledge, skills, and meaningful recreation.
