A Gathering of Vision at Zayed National Museum

Within the contemplative spaces of Zayed National Museum, Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa recently hosted a private majlis for members of the World Economic Forum’s Global Young Leaders Council. The gathering brought together an influential assembly of emerging voices to consider matters of profound significance to the region and the world beyond.

The discussion centred on three pivotal themes: innovation as a driver of progress, water security as a foundation for sustainable futures, and the building of legacies for generations to come. These subjects, woven through dialogue and shared perspective, reflected the museum’s deeper purpose as a repository of Emirati heritage and values.

The gathering formed part of a broader educational initiative titled Journey to the Origin, a carefully constructed exploration of the UAE’s rich cultural inheritance. Through this pathway, participants engaged with the narratives, traditions and achievements that have shaped the nation, gaining insight into the foundations upon which contemporary vision is built. The museum’s setting proved essential to this encounter, offering a space where heritage and contemporary thought could converse naturally, where the accumulated wisdom of the past informed discussion of the future.

Such convening of young leaders reflects the commitment to fostering dialogue among those whose decisions and innovations will shape decades to come, grounded always in an understanding of authentic cultural roots and shared responsibility towards posterity.
