From Libya to Yekaterinburg: Young Voices Learning, Connecting and Creating Impact

Isra Al-Manaei and Firas Abu Khuzam, members of the Youth Dialogue Forum, participated in the International Festival of Youth 2026 in Yekaterinburg, Russia, alongside young people from different countries and backgrounds.

The participation provided an opportunity to exchange experiences, explore diverse youth initiatives, and engage with new perspectives from around the world. It also offered a platform to introduce Libya, its young people, and their aspirations, while building new connections and opportunities for cooperation.

The participation reflects the Youth Dialogue Forum’s vision of empowering young people, developing their capacities, and expanding their engagement in national and international spaces. Through such opportunities, young participants can gain knowledge and experience, share what they learn with their communities, and contribute more effectively to shaping Libya’s future.

For the Youth Dialogue Forum, dialogue is more than an exchange of opinions. It is a pathway to learning, building meaningful connections, and transforming experiences into knowledge and impact.

From every experience, we learn. From every dialogue, we build a new opportunity.
