ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: As many as 200 students and young professionals from across Pakistan gathered at the “Good for Youth—Good For Pakistan” festival sponsored by USAID Pakistan in Islamabad on Thursday.

The festival brought together some of the brightest members of Pakistan’s next generation to exchange ideas about the Country’s future and their role in shaping it.

The Chargé d’Affaires at the US Embassy Ambassador Paul Jones recognized these young people for their exemplary civil leadership at the festival’s closing ceremony.

The event featured a mix of fun interactive activities, motivational speeches, music, and a competition of live presentations and video messages from a geographically and economically diverse slate of young people about the opportunities they seek, the challenges they face, and the solutions they propose.

Short films were also premiered in festival

“I’m delighted that the United States is able to partner with Pakistan to support priorities identified by youth at this festival: quality education, training for jobs in today’s economy, and gender parity. These are priorities our countries share,” the ambassador told festival participants.

Three short films were also premiered, which highlighted the achievements of young people who, with a little help from the United States Mission to Pakistan, have overcome significant challenges to realize better futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.

The videos will be aired on television throughout October 2018.
