The Emirates Youth Council arranged a 'Youth Circles' workshop at The Pavilion, Al Zorah's renowned sales centre, in the existence of Sheikh Abdullah bin Ahmed Al Nuaimi, Sheikh Abdullah bin Majid Al Nuaimi, Sheikh Majid bin Sultan Al Nuaimi and H.E. Shamma bint Suhail Faris Al Mazrui, Minister of State for Youth Affairs.
Marwan Obaid Al Muhairi, a member of the Board of Directors at Al Zorah Development Company, likewise went to the workshop which was targeted at promoting dialogue on youth entrepreneurship in the UAE.
Al Zorah is a premier waterfront and organically linked lifestyle development by Solidere International, integrated in partnership with the Ajman Government. The free-zone destination will begin welcoming visitors by the end of 2016, providing tremendous business opportunities for young business owners and making it a highly fitting area for the Emirates Youth Council to hold its workshop.
The Emirates Youth Council is chaired by HE Shamma Al Mazrui, Minister of State for Youth, who just recently revealed the launch of Youth Circles, an initiative approved by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
It is as part of the 100-day Action Plan of the Minister of State for Youth Affairs, to promote enhanced communication with the UAE's children and to understand their creative solutions to challenging issues.
Council members, VIP visitors, and members of the media were in participation at the conference. Entrepreneurs discussed their successes and challenges with the young Emiratis to influence them and help in accomplishing their aspirations.
Al Zorah is set throughout 12 kms of waterfront, has 1.6 kms of sandy beaches, and includes an 18-hole Nicklaus Design champion golf course, 2 beach resorts presently under construction, a residential golf community that is increasing rapidly and marinas which will see a number of water-related sports and activities by year-end. The very first stage of the project will see delivery prior to completion of 2016.
Over 2 million sqm of natural mangroves are spread over the property, 60 per cent of which is dedicated to public spaces and secured mangroves.
Imad Dana, CEO, Al Zorah Development Company, stated: "It was an honour for us to host this accomplished group of young leaders who are leading the way for the future of our nation. They have currently achieved incredible success through their curiosity, development, dedication and commitment to sharing best practices to create a much better tomorrow for the UAE's next generation. The event declares Al Zorah's position as a brand-new and amazing destination that promotes youth entrepreneurship in the UAE."
The Youth Circles reflect the UAEs efforts to promote harmony and community participation as well as advance the level of communication between the government and citizens to ensure cutting-edge solutions. We are grateful to the Emirates Youth Council for holding this meeting at Al Zorah, and also to the Government of Ajman for its support. Al Zorah, which has been designed by Solidere International, is a reflection of the quality, detail and aspirations of Solidere, the parent company in Lebanon, and we are proud of our association with this region.
Al Zorah is in close proximity to Dubai and Sharjah Airports, yet away from the bustle of city-life, and the wide range of outdoor pursuits further define the project. It is masterfully crafted and planned by Solidere International, renowned for developing refined Places for Life, and principally established in Dubai International Financial Centre by Solidere, the Lebanese public company that is responsible for the urban regeneration of downtown Beirut.
