The members of the Sharjah Youth Shura Council spent a week full of knowledge, unique experiences, and renewed insights in Bahrain. This included distinctive visits to the Shura Council to learn about the parliamentary experience in the Kingdom, in addition to the Muharraq Model Center and Youth City 2030, which includes several specialised centres, each playing an important role in building youth capacities and preparing them to face future challenges. They had the opportunity to engage in self-discovery sessions with coach Ashwaq Bouali, who specialises in leadership, motivation, and self-discovery, equipping them with new skills that enabled them to have a deeper understanding of their potential and to channel their energy correctly to achieve their future goals.

During the visit to the centres, the members acquired many skills, most notably leadership skills, unleashing entrepreneurial ideas, skills for improving quality of life and achieving balance through learning about the importance of physical activity and mental health, in addition to gaining unique insights into the importance of media in positive influence and shaping public opinion.

The visit is part of the agenda of the Sharjah Youth Shura Council in its eighth session, held under the slogan "A Quarter of a Century of Excellence in Parliamentary Work."
