Abu Dhabi: The Arab Youth Center (AYC) has unveiled the fifth edition of the Young Arab Media Leaders Program. The event was launched under the patronage of AYC President Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The program, held in collaboration with 20 Arab and international media organizations, was attended by 51 young male and female participants from 18 Arab countries.
The program, which targets distinguished senior-year students or those at the start of their professional careers, will focus on developing their practical skills, building their capacities, and enriching their experiments in order to increase their competitiveness in the labor market.
Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed emphasized the importance of the youth’s adherence to human values and community service derived from ‘’our Arab and Islamic identity” in a way that promotes the noble message and goals of the media profession in serving societies.
Arab youth are capable of presenting a better image of Arab capabilities in various development sectors through professional media that balances professionalism and the use of modern technology tools by relying on the capabilities and creativity of young people. Therefore, the AYC will continue to invest in developing knowledge and skills and strive to provide opportunities for all talented people.
Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed shared.
The fifth edition of the program will feature specialized training workshops and expanded interactions with media leaders, experts, and trainers who will empower participants with skills that enable them to become talented media professionals through a close look at newsrooms and other media platforms.
Trainees will also have the opportunity to participate in the activities of the International Government Communication Forum (IGCF) in Sharjah from September 13 to 14, 2023, the Arab Media Forum (AMF) in Dubai at the end of September, and the Global Media Congress (GMC) in Abu Dhabi next November.
