DOHA QATAR will host from Sunday the first GCC Youth Conference, which will assess the region’s programmes and activities concerning the youth and workout plans to improve them.

The week-long event is being organised by the Cultural Activities and Events Department of the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage under the patronage of Minister of Culture, Arts and Heritage HE Dr Hamad bin Abdulaziz al Kuwari.

The conference, to be held at Marriot Hotel, will be attended by President of the Gulf Youth Committee and Director of Bahraini Public Foundation of Youth and Sports Hisham Mohamed al Jawdar in addition to one representative each from the GCC General Secretariat and the Arab League.

Highlighting the aim of the conference, Abdulrahman bin Mohamed al Hajiri, director of Cultural Activities and Events at the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage, said: “The conference aims to seek the participation of GCC youngsters in choosing and assessing youth activities with respect to the recommendations of Arab ministers of youth and sports.

“Arab youth are free to express their opinion and participate in planning youth-related activities.

Moreover, they should be given the opportunity to express their opinions vis-àvis GCC youth activities and whether these activities have achieved the aim set for them.” He also noted that the conference would allow the GCC youth to present new activities, workshops and novel programmes, which will be presented in the upcoming GCC undersecretaries meeting.

Hajiri called on Qatar youth to participate in the forum, noting that the door is open for them to take part and benefit from the experiences of their colleagues from other countries.
