The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) held today a graduation ceremony for Fifty Youth Panel members of community engagement initiative. The ages of the members ranged from 14-21.
They received a certificate from SC for graduating. The initiative was established in 2015 to give young people their say on 2022 FIFA World Cup plans. The programme aims to inspire youngsters and foster a sense of ownership and pride in the tournament, especially with regard to the legacy it will leave. Over the past year, panelists set their own agenda and gained unique access to architects, engineers, medical professionals and experts from across the SC. They visited stadium sites and attended workshops to learn about the infrastructure and legacy planning for the Middle East’s first FIFA World Cup.
SC Director of Communications Fatma Al Nuaimi said in her address that SC was committed to empowering young people."At the heart of the Youth Panel programme we are listening to young people and learning about the kind of future they want and how Qatar hosting the World Cup can make this a reality," Al Nuaimi said. She added that the work put in by the panelists over the past year will help SC to deliver the legacy that World Cup 2022 and Qatar deserve.
