MUSCAT – The initiative targets young people aged 15 to 34, aiming to develop their skills and invest their time in ways that enhance their capabilities across multiple fields.

The programme seeks to engage at least 1,000 young men and women through a variety of activities that combine professional development, technological innovation, cultural identity, and social responsibility, with the goal of preparing a generation capable of meeting the challenges of the future.

As part of the initiative, the Youth Center provides a wide range of training and skill-building activities. Participants receive guidance in areas such as vocal techniques and artistic expression, while also exploring traditional arts like Arabic calligraphy. In the field of sports, the centre offers instruction in sports commentary, including voice delivery, match analysis, and constructing effective commentary, alongside youth competitions designed to encourage physical activity, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

On the technological front, participants are introduced to modern design and construction techniques, as well as assistive technologies that enhance mobility, reading, and interaction with smart devices for people with disabilities. The centre also provides training in digital advertising and campaign management, equipping young people with practical skills for online platforms, including audience targeting, budget management, and performance analysis. Virtual learning opportunities further develop data analysis skills and promote self-learning and professional development through online platforms.

The Ramadan programme is complemented by community events such as the ‘Youth Gathering’, which features group Iftar and honours winners of recreational and sports activities, as well as closing events that include the Youth Market and Youth Challenges.
