The international youth dialogue initiative, supported by UNESCO’s regional office in Doha, the German Embassy Doha, the Goethe-Institut Gulf region, and the international expert platform InStrat, brought together more than thirty young students from Tariq Bin Ziyad Secondary School for Boys and Hassan Bin Thabit Secondary School for Boys in a highly engaging, interactive workshop.

Fostering close dialogue and exchange of daily life perspectives across countries and cultures, the launch in Qatar revolved around topics of sustainability, water, energy, and the climate. The exercise will be mirrored by partner schools in Germany, with students engaging in parallel discussions and later exchanging outcomes for joint reflection and further exploration.
