The ‘Knowledge Journey’ has been divided into various phases to promote active participation in the
workshops and dialogue sessions with decision-makers.

The first phase, which was conducted on October 22, 2024, focused on analyzing and gaining
insights into the nation’s present knowledge ecosystem and reviewing the results of the Global

Knowledge Index (GKI) 2023.

The second phase, slated for February 5 – 6, will explore the role of innovation and information and

communication technology (ICT) as transformative forces in the global economy. It will also discuss
how technology, research and development, and digital literacy can be leveraged to drive

sustainable development in the Middle East region.

On the second day, the need to redesign educational systems in line with future needs and the

importance of lifelong learning and vocational training will be explored.

The third phase, titled ‘Knowledge Week,’ will be held from April 20-24, 2025, marking the
conclusion of the ‘Knowledge Journey’ initiative.

The five-day-long discussions will revisit key insights and outcomes of previous phases, with
participants presenting their proposals and plans for advancing the knowledge economy to
decision-makers. Youth participants can now register for the upcoming phases of the ‘Knowledge

Journey’ via the following link: https://bit.ly/KKJ_CFAAr.

The ‘Knowledge Journey in Kuwait’ builds on the impressive success of the ‘Knowledge Week’

initiatives held in Jordan and Egypt in 2019 and 2020, respectively. It supports broader global efforts
to cultivate knowledge-based societies, aligning with Kuwait’s ‘Third National Development Plan’

and ‘Kuwait Vision 2035.’
