Young Voices of Arabia 2022

These exciting adventure stories were chosen from hundreds of submissions that investigated waste management, clean energy, and food systems, including hydroponics and aquaponics. All original works were written in Arabic and English by young students from throughout the region for the Voices of Future Generations competition in 2022 and were illustrated by our talented regional artists.

The stories, which address the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals, differ in style and theme, but all the young authors have displayed tremendous inventiveness, curiosity, and passion for protecting our planet. They’ve thought about what would be most effective in their communities, exhibiting a more in-depth understanding of the resilient, inclusive, accessible, and sustainable society they want to build.

Read these stories, enjoy them, and ask yourself what you want to change in the world for the better.
