About GEN
The Girls' Education Network (GEN) is a signature youth engagement program hosted by the NYUAD Office of Community Outreach.
GEN is a leadership development program that aims to create inclusive, supportive spaces that enable dialogue and foster an exploration of practices such as self-awareness, empathetic listening, collaboration, and design thinking. GEN invites young girls in the UAE to cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves in order to mindfully and impactfully engage with the world around them. The program is a Dalai Lama award-winning curriculum and uses a peer-to-peer learning model where female university students from NYUAD serve as facilitators for the learning workshops.
About the Workshop Series
The GEN program curriculum includes six mandatory workshops. Youth participants and facilitators will explore the components of leadership (self and community) over the course of the six workshops. Please note that participants must be available to attend all six workshop dates listed below to complete the program.
