“This project comes to highlight the importance of youth participating through such distinctive initiatives, which is a significant step for them in order to take leading positions in different sectors, and effectively contribute to the development of Bahrain in this prosperous time,” Al Jowder added.

Al Kooheji said: "Tamkeen is always proud of its key role in supporting and empowering Bahraini youth through its various support programmes. Youth City 2030 is considered key amongst such programmes.”
