This book conveys reality to our young people in a pleasant language, encouraging them to contribute to finding sustainable solutions, and enhancing their role in building the desired future.

The stories also tackle technological advances and artificial intelligence, stimulating young people to explore ways to benefit from the sweeping technological development without harming their own selves or others.
The project spans the 2024-2025 academic year and involves a greater number of schools in more Arab countries such as Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman and Qatar.
