While youth are most susceptible to the present situation and its consequences, they can also have the strongest impact on the present and the future.

From His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II’s speech at the United Nations Security Council (23 May 2015)

We are in a race to invest in the hearts and minds as well as the capabilities of the youth...We have to empower young people to fight the war for their own future, by providing them with the tools to address their generation through electronic communication platforms. They need to form intellectual networks and alliances that can reach out to members of their generation and lead the youth’s public opinion to adopt values of coexistence, respect for diversity and rejection of violence.

From His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II’s speech at the United Nations Security Council (23 May 2015)

We have before us the largest generation of young people in human history and the greatest opportunity to build and empower communities, where reason is the law and ethics are the constitution, and where peace, equality, respect, dialogue, coexistence and acceptance of differences are core values. After all, these are foundations of our common humanity.
