HSBC and Potential.com have launched the fourth edition of their future skills flagship program, Tatawwar, for students across the UAE, Egypt, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Algeria. It is an interactive online and face-to-face program that brings together students (aged 15 to 18), schools, parents, and the business community to innovate for a sustainable future by addressing the three United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – Health and Well-being, Clean Water and Sanitation and Climate Action.

Fady Allaham, Educational Consultant in the Office of The Assistant Undersecretary For Educational Affairs – Academic and Career Counselling Department at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in Qatar was the judge at one of the earlier cohorts. He said, “HSBC and Potential are giving these students the opportunity to show their creativity and share their projects and ideas with everyone where they shared some very personal reasons for their projects. It was an amazing thing to see the focus on helping other people and preserving nature.”

Students, schools, parents, NGOs, and any other partners who would also like to participate in empowering the next generation of social innovators can now register for the program. The finals for this cohort will be hosted at Expo 2020 where some of the winning projects will be showcased.
