8/15/25, 9:13 AM Dubai Youth Council Teams Up With KHDA Youth Council To Host ‘Dubai Youth Lab’ | Pakistan Point
of Dubai, Dubai has established itself as a global city that empowers youth – building their
capabilities, funding their innovative ideas, and placing them in leadership roles to realise their
ambitions. The Dubai Youth Lab is part of an integrated ecosystem that
unites government entities, economic sectors, and youth organisations to equip young people
with leadership skills and strategic opportunities to shape our shared future.”
The event began with opening remarks from leaders, followed by the division of participants into
working groups. Each received a ‘vital file’ based on a real government challenge, analysed its
root causes, and developed comprehensive solutions. These were presented to a judging panel
of experts and decision-makers, evaluated on innovation, feasibility, and alignment with national
priorities.

Aisha Miran noted that such experiences demonstrate the maturity and readiness of Dubai’s
youth. “This is more than a platform for exchanging ideas – it is a genuine workshop where
youth energy meets Dubai’s strategic vision, producing actionable concepts that can enhance
quality of life, develop education, and advance sustainability and digital transformation. The
ideas presented today were practical, well thought out, and reflect a deep understanding of
upcoming priorities. We must continue to nurture these talents and provide the enabling
environment for them to succeed.”

Reem Al Falasi, President of the Dubai Youth Council, said: “Dubai Youth Lab reflects the
emirate’s vision of empowering young minds to shape their own future – not just as
beneficiaries, but as decision-makers and true changemakers. The event enhances
understanding of Dubai’s decision-making processes, builds youth policy analysis skills, and
fosters direct communication between youth and leadership. It also generates innovative ideas
that can contribute to government development.”

The six participating groups tackled priority community issues such as the future of education,
mental health, employment, aligning education with labour market needs, training culture, and
empowering non-university graduates. The Lab’s outputs will be documented, analysed, and
submitted to relevant authorities to inform future programmes and policies.
