"We seek to provide them with all the tools that enable them to make change in their communities, so you inspire your colleagues in all communities around the world, especially for future generations, which is undoubtedly a semantic message of the unbridled impact of sport, as well as the role it plays in improving the lives of individuals and communities."
In turn, Aliaa Bin Saif, spoke about the contributions of young people in achieving sustainable development, thereby emitting and inspiring others with hope: ”Youth ambassadors are the core of positive transformation in their communities, as well as with the main factor in inventing radical solutions for community problems ”.
Sustainable development for the youth
