3/4/25, 2:37 PM MBRF concludes the “Youth Knowledge Forum for the Islamic World” - Arts & culture - Emirates24|7
During his closing remarks, Dr. Hany Torky, Chief Technical Advisor and Project Manager of the Knowledge Project at UNDP, stated
that the trend now shifts towards launching a digital platform where young people can submit suggestions on ways to promote
knowledge. These proposals will be reviewed and evaluated with the aim of putting them into practice.

For her part, Dr. Sally Mabrouk, Director of the Office of the ICESCO Director-General, commended the great success of the YFK. She
noted the high attendance and the significant engagement of young people via live streaming, which reached nearly two million live
views over the two days of the event. This, she said, reflects the growing importance of such forums in empowering youth and
preparing them for the future.

The YKF hosted hundreds of young participants from across the Islamic World at the ICESCO headquarters in Rabat, with 600
attendees on the first day and 400 on the second. In addition to discussion sessions covering various fields of knowledge, the event
featured success stories of creative and innovative young women and men, encouraging participants to pursue their aspirations and
advance their intellectual journeys.
