Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Moza Ahmed, a student from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, will represent her country in the first group of the Global Youth Council Fellowship.
As a Grade 12 student at the American School of Creative Science, Moza previously led Dubai’s first Students Council, an initiative launched by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) as part of Dubai’s Education 33 strategy.
The council gave 16 students from diverse backgrounds a way to share their views with the KHDA on education programs and policies. During its first year, the Dubai Students Council gathered input from nearly 400,000 students across Dubai’s private schools through meetings, online platforms, and a newsletter. Moza said leading the council taught her the importance of listening to and trusting young people, and allowed her to translate ambitious ideas into action.
The Global Youth Council Fellowship, established by T4 Education, will bring together 16 to 18 year olds for a year of leadership development. Moza will contribute to building the fellowship’s future work and share Dubai’s approach to youth empowerment on an international stage. Organisers selected Moza for her intellectual curiosity and potential to impact the world.
