DUBAI, 12th August, 2026 (WAM) -- Marking International Youth Day, Majra – National CSR Fund, the national umbrella for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), organised a Youth Circle titled "The Family and the Future of Youth: From Formation to Cohesion" on 12 August 2026 at Emirates Towers, Dubai.
The event forms part of Majra's Youth Circles series and aims to equip young people with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions that contribute to building resilient families, strengthen social cohesion, and support the UAE's Sustainable Impact Ecosystem. The event also reflects Majra's commitment to empowering youth as partners in co-creating national impact, in line with the objectives of International Youth Day to advance young people's role in building more sustainable and prosperous societies.

It provides a platform for meaningful dialogue on key social issues, empowering young people to contribute to co-creating national impact and generating credible and measurable impact across society.
The programme featured four thematic sessions covering family formation, family growth, roles within the family, and empowering youth to sustain strong families, before concluding with closing remarks highlighting the event's key takeaways and recommendations. Together, these discussions aim to raise awareness of the family's role as the foundation of society, encourage stable family formation, explore the challenges surrounding marriage, parenthood, and family responsibilities, and equip young people with the knowledge to make responsible decisions that contribute to sustainable impact in line with the UAE's national priorities.
