The “Next Normal” brings new opportunities, novel ways to learn and grow, and a different set of priorities for the UAE youth, asserted experts at the Mohamed Bin Zayed Majlis for Future Generations (MBZMFG 2021).

The virtual event took place on Sunday, under the theme Thriving in the Next Normal, where participants delved deep into topics ranging from the skills that will be most in-demand in the future to tactics that young people could implement to face these pressures, adapt to their new surroundings, and strive to innovate and excel.

Sessions under the first chapter - A Changing World - shed light on the rapid and unprecedented developments that took place around the world in 2020, which had a significant impact on business, individuals, families, communities, and entire countries. The UAE was committed, throughout this period, to making calculated forecasts that anticipate future scenarios and outline the opportunities that lie ahead, all the while empowering youth and encouraging them to continue innovating.
