His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa His Majesty the King’s Representative for Charity and Youth Affairs, Chairman of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports and President of the Bahrain Olympic Committee stressed today the importance of developing leadership skills and knowledge for the Bahraini youth.

Shaikh Nasser announced the launch of the Developing Leadership Skills and Knowledge Programme, which will be held on March 23-26 and sponsored by the Nasser bin Hamad Foundation.
Young Bahrainis have been the subject of our attention and the focus in the implementation of the directives of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Shaikh Nasser said.
He pointed out that they have launched several initiatives and awards that urge youth to tap into their creativity and develop their leadership skills and knowledge, which will enable them to further contribute to building a bright future of Bahrain.
He added that the programme is a great opportunity for aspiring young leaders in Bahrain. A total of 16 Bahraini nationals will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a profound learning experience, during which they develop the key skills and knowledge to better lead themselves, their organisations and Bahraini society in general.
