Hi everyone! I was born in Kazakhstan. For the last couple of years, I have travelled a lot independently; studied in UAE and UK. At the moment I am doing my A levels through distance learning. Traveling has set the foundation for this platform since it inspired my love for International Relations and cultural diplomacy. My desire to deepen my knowledge in the subject area and connect with people from all over the world to achieve mutual understanding on various issues was my main motivator for creating EmpoweredYouth. I aspire to contribute to meaningful change in vital issues around the world - empower the next generation of future leaders!

I am a 17 y.o. high school student currently doing my A Levels in History, English Literature, Media Studies and Psychology. I believe the subjects that I study academically facilitate my interest in global politics and international relations beyond the classroom which allows them to be evaluated from multiple angles, considering the implications through the perspective of politics, economics and society. I'm really interested in this sphere, and particularly passionate about encouraging young people like myself to speak out about topics that they have an interest in and get their voices heard, because as cliche as it is, we are the future, so we might as well shape our tomorrow!

I am 18 y.o. and live in Dubai. I take Maths, Physics and History at A-Level and I wish to study Law at university. I think that the subjects I study test me in different ways and each of them help me have a well rounded skills set and evaluate the world in different ways. Outside of school I do a lot of dance and gymnastics and have been competing since a very young age. I am very interested in the way the world works from a legal and political standpoint and think that our generation has the ability to make so much change in this world if we utilize our platforms and use our voices to speak up and fight for what we believe in.
