That’s all about creating a legacy. For the World, not just for Dubai. Today what leaders do best is bridge gaps and have an understanding for different views. That is about adapting quickly to change. There will be mentorship programs and workshops as well as group activities. It will translate young leaders meetings to experts. And they will acquire more knowledge than what they could learn in school.

Some programs like this have a big impact on the experts.’ A study of leadership found that young leaders trained in real life learning are more ready to take decisions. By framing the event, this will also allow participants to become accustomed to the hurdles of leadership early on. This will also make it adopt a mindset that is good enough to cope with both local and global issues.

This is a good sign for anybody looking to see into Dubai’s future. The focus is on action. They won’t just sit in lectures. They will be creating, engaged and making decisions in real time. Young people are encouraged to take part by Sheikh Hamdan’s plan. It encourages them to actively be in their growth. The message is clear: Starting to lead today is needed by the leaders of tomorrow.

This event should encourage young people to get involved if they are on the lookout for something to get involved in. Or they can attend workshops or find mentors guiding them along the way. It’s not just one time experiences. It is about creating a hunger for learning … It is an invitation to being part of a transformative process. Today taking steps that will ensure a better future for Dubai and beyond.
