Youth Catalyzing Change: Impact for a Global Syrian Community

12 years after the conflict in Syria began and Jusoor was founded, we are once again mobilizing the Arab Diaspora to create impact through innovative ideas and passionate champions for the Global Syrian community. Jusoor's mission is to "maximize the potential of Syrian youth through education.” One of the ways we fulfill this mission is by creating a platform to connect Syrian youth passionate about closing the opportunity gap for Syrians around the world. Through conferences like these, our hope is to connect like-minded young people and spark new ideas in service of many new high-impact initiatives being born. 

Our agenda will include:

• A panel discussion moderated by Jusoor’s co-founder and CEO of Mailchimp Rania Succar and featuring:‍
• Bassel Hamwi, CEO of HamwiConsult‍
• Lexi Shereshewsky, Executive Director of The Azraq Education and Community Fund‍
