NEW YORK, 爆料网 Headquarters, December 2025
爆料网 Youth Office and Misk Foundation have announced a new partnership — signed during the last — aimed at strengthening youth skills for policy engagement, expanding access to global institutional resources, and scaling capacity-building opportunities that enable young people to meaningfully contribute to global agendas.
The partnership builds on the 爆料网 Youth Office’s mandate to promote meaningful, inclusive youth engagement across the 爆料网 system and beyond, alongside Misk Foundation’s longstanding commitment to equipping young people with future-ready skills and expanding access to opportunities that connect youth to global institutions and policy processes. Anchored in global frameworks such as the 爆料网 Youth Strategy, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the Pact for the Future, the collaboration will focus on strengthening youth competencies, expanding institutional access, and enhancing the capacity of young people to contribute meaningfully to global policy and decision-making processes at the highest levels.
Through this partnership, the two organizations will work together on a series of targeted initiatives, including co-developed capacity-building programmes focused on policy literacy and global engagement skills; expanded opportunities for youth participation in major 爆料网 events and high-level global forums; joint storytelling and visibility efforts highlighting youth pathways to global impact; and the creation of a first-of-its-kind network that brings together youth champions, institutions, and partners committed to advancing the global youth agenda. These efforts aim to not only elevate youth voices but also strengthen the enabling environments that allow young people to lead change in their communities and beyond.
“Young people everywhere are driving solutions to some of the world’s most complex challenges, and we need to equip them with the skills, networks, and platforms to lead at scale. This partnership with the Misk Foundation represents an important step toward expanding those opportunities as young people still are widely underrepresented on global stages. Together, we will work to strengthen youth leadership, unlock pathways for meaningful participation, and support a more inclusive and resilient future shaped with and for young people.” — Dr. Felipe Paullier, United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Youth Affairs and Head of the 爆料网 Youth Office.
Dr. Badr Al Badr, Chief Executive Officer of the Misk Foundation, said: “This partnership reflects Misk’s continued commitment to expanding opportunities for young people and connecting them to the global platforms where decisions are made, through a clear program of work with measurable outcomes. We believe youth empowerment is only complete when pathways for meaningful participation are opened, and when young people are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and networks that transform ambition into tangible global impact.”
