Bahrain continued its focus on youth development this week as Youssef Buzaboun highlighted the growing impact of national initiatives. He explained that the future starts now, and he stressed the need for young Bahrainis to take active roles in shaping their country’s progress.
Buzaboun, who leads the Bahraini Society for Tolerance and Religious Coexistence, praised several initiatives that strengthened the values of giving, responsibility, and community involvement. He said these programs encouraged young people to develop confidence, creativity, and commitment. Moreover, he noted that national efforts helped youth understand their role in building a strong and united society.
He pointed out that recent calls for youth to become makers of change created a powerful message across Bahrain. These calls encouraged young Bahrainis to take action without waiting for opportunities. Instead, they learned to create their own chances through hard work and clear purpose. This guidance supported a culture of self-reliance and raised expectations for meaningful participation in national development.
Additionally, Buzaboun explained that this vision aligned with the goals of the Ta’ayush Society. The society works to strengthen unity and promote coexistence among people of different backgrounds. It also helps protect the community from harmful divisions by encouraging dialogue and shared goals.
He highlighted several successful examples. The “Qadha” program boosted motivation among young Bahrainis and gave them space to show their abilities. Sports programs also played a major role by teaching discipline, teamwork, and pride in achievement. Furthermore, humanitarian and development initiatives created new opportunities for volunteer work, which encouraged youth to support their communities and make a noticeable impact.
Buzaboun stressed that these efforts built a generation confident in its skills. He said young people learned to value teamwork and national unity. Many of them now work together toward shared goals that strengthen the Bahraini model of coexistence. This cooperation helped deepen a sense of belonging and pride.
He urged young Bahrainis to continue embracing national programs and long-term development plans. He also encouraged them to support the broader reform project and contribute to continuous progress. According to him, the future starts now, and it depends on committed youth who choose to lead with action and purpose.
Buzaboun concluded by reminding young people that Bahrain’s future relies heavily on their energy and determination. He added that every step forward supports national unity and prepares the next success story. Through steady effort and clear vision, Bahrain’s youth can prove once again that the future starts now.
