In celebration of International Youth Day, BWOCD brought together a dynamic group of young people for a meaningful and engaging day focused on inspiration, empowerment, and community connection. The event aimed to create a supportive space where youth could reflect on their aspirations, share their experiences, and strengthen their sense of purpose.
The program opened with a powerful motivational session led by Dr. Najeeb Balataee, who encouraged participants to think deeply about their future and define clear, realistic goals. He highlighted the importance of vision, self-belief, and consistent effort in achieving long-term success. Dr. Balataee also emphasized that challenges are part of every journey and that resilience and determination are key qualities for overcoming obstacles and staying committed to one’s ambitions.
Throughout the session, participants actively engaged in discussions and shared personal stories about their educational paths, career dreams, and the challenges they have faced. This exchange of experiences created a safe and inspiring environment where young people felt heard and supported. The dialogue not only strengthened peer connections but also fostered mutual respect, understanding, and a stronger sense of community among the participants.
As part of the day’s activities, BWOCD organized a tree-planting initiative — a simple yet deeply meaningful action. This activity symbolized hope, growth, and long-term commitment to a better future. It also served as a reminder of the shared responsibility to protect the environment, particularly in light of the growing global challenges related to climate change. By taking action together, participants experienced how small steps can contribute to meaningful and lasting impact.
The event successfully combined motivation, reflection, learning, and action. It left participants feeling inspired, empowered, and more connected to one another. Through initiatives like this, BWOCD reaffirms its commitment to supporting youth development and encouraging young people to become proactive agents of positive change in their communities and beyond.
