KUWAIT: The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Kuwait concluded its Knowledge Journey program on Wednesday, with the participation of more than 60 students. The initiative aimed to empower young people with the essential skills needed to address future challenges and contribute meaningfully to the goals of Kuwait Vision 2035. Speaking at the closing ceremony, UNDP Resident Representative in Kuwait Emma Morley said the program was designed to cultivate a promising generation of youth capable of advancing economic diversification — whether through private sector engagement or active participation in public institutions. Organized in cooperation with the Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum Knowledge Foundation and the General Secretariat of the Supreme Council for Planning and Development, the program featured a series of interactive workshops, brainstorming sessions and lectures. Morley noted that participants submitted research papers and proposals by the end of the week, offering innovative ideas for improving various national systems.
