    DOHA FORUM AND QATARDEBATE HOST THE DOHA FORUM: YOUTH EDITION Doha Forum and QatarDebate, a member of Qatar Foundation (QF), today hosted the Doha Forum: Youth Edition at the Education City Student Center.

The Doha Forum: Youth Edition aims to enhance the debating skills of young people, and engage them in discussions on issues that are trending around the world, in preparation for the 18th Doha Forum, scheduled to be held on December 15-16 in Doha. Focusing on the importance of dialogue in addressing contemporary issues and challenges, the Doha Forum: Youth Edition is one of the most important events in QatarDebate’s 2018 calendar. Her Excellency Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani said: “It has been truly inspiring to listen to the voice of youth being applied to such rigorous, constructive, and insightful dialogue about some of the key issues that our world is experiencing today, and will continue to experience. “The Doha Forum: Youth Edition has focused on topics that are at the center of global discussions, debates, and agendas – the patterns, causes, and impact of mass immigration; and the effects of fake news on how we consume, and perceive, media – and challenged young people to approach them from different standpoints. These issues, and others like them, will impact on their lives and their societies. Through their participation in this event, they will be better equipped to represent the voice of youth in global conversations on topics that truly matter, and to encourage and empower their peers to ensure they also have their say about our world.” In her opening remarks, Her Excellency Lolwah Al Khater, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said: “Today we celebrate the launch of Doha Forum’s new edition, the first ever youth edition, in partnership with QatarDebate and Qatar Foundation.
