Mohamed Khalifa Al Nuaimi, Director of the Education Affairs Office at the Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Court, said, "Our wise leadership considers it a top priority to train and empower the youth in our country to become the leaders of the future, paving the way for them to succeed and arming them with the knowledge and skills they need to play a greater role in the future of our country and its development."

"The upcoming Mohamed bin Zayed Majlis for Future Generations 2021 coincides with the UAE’s celebration of its Golden Jubilee, on one hand, and with the rapid and unprecedented developments the world has witnessed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, on the other," he explained. "The challenges from the novel coronavirus outbreak compel us to find unconventional solutions and opt for an agile, innovation-based approach to be prepared for the future."
The event offers a unique model for interactive communication with the youth, which consists of virtual dialogues, where young participants can exchange views and ideas, and work towards solutions that shape a better future and establish a new, innovation-based and youth-led culture.

The MBZMFG 2021 programme was designed to be a platform for dialogue with the youth about the future; it focuses on three Primary themes: A Changing World, New Opportunities, and The Next 50 Years.
