Qatar Foundation completes preparations to host second edition of "Qiyada” conference

The Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) has finalized preparations for the second edition of the Qiyada conference, which will convene September 25 and 26 at Education City Student Center. Titled "Guided by Faith, We Thrive in a Changing World," the event will gather distinguished scholars, thought leaders, and inspiring personalities to address the challenges faced by young people in a rapidly changing world.

Dr. Abdulnassir Shamlan Al-Tamimi, Executive Director of Student Services at QF Higher Education, emphasized that Qiyada serves as an open invitation for young people to explore how faith, values, and resilience can guide them through the complexities of modern life. The conference focuses on four key pillars: awareness, identity, tools, and resilience and action.

These areas encompass understanding global transformations, defining personal values, acquiring essential skills, and using these tools to create positive societal impact. Dr. Al-Tamimi highlighted the inaugural conference's success, with over 1,467 attendees and a media reach of 15.7 million people. He affirmed QF's commitment to empowering youth with authentic knowledge and purposeful guidance, fostering a conscious, innovative generation that upholds cultural and Islamic identity while contributing positively to society.
