ConocoPhillips Qatar has hosted a large number of youngsters from Emirates Foundation, who participated in a variety of youth engagement activities in Qatar.
The visit was a part of a youth development partnership between ConocoPhillips Qatar and Emirates Foundation for Youth Development, which aims to support positive social impact and the development of youth skills in the UAE.  
The visit included 20 Emirati youth and three VIPs from Emirates Foundation as well as 18 Qatari youth participants from Qatar Volunteer Centre. The programme included cultural exchange visits and sessions on health safety, security, environment and science.   
Training sessions were conducted by trainers from
College of the North Atlantic - Qatar. These included training in personal security awareness, travel safety, crises management and emergency response team-building simulation exercises focused on realistic events. Other events during the sessions included guest student lectures, panel discussions and question-and-answer groups.
During the visit, the youth delegates were also given a tour of the ConocoPhillips offices in
Doha and the ConocoPhillips Global Water Sustainability Centre to learn about the
technology behind clean water supplies.  
The programme involved Qatari youth aged between 18 and 28 years, some of whom were students and graduates of finance, accounting and engineering. Most participants had just started working in the private sector and had an interest in building cross-cultural relationships and gaining more experience.
