King Abdullah, accompanied by Her Majesty Queen Rania Al
Abdullah, viewed samples of products by young Jordanians who started small art
and handicraft projects in several governorates after receiving training
through the Productive Youth Initiative, launched by the Royal Hashemite Court
in 2019 to address the needs that youth expressed at meetings with His Majesty.
The King urged the youths to share the experiences gained
through the initiative with their peers, to promote the culture of
entrepreneurship and self-employment instead of job seeking, highlighting the
need to market their products locally and internationally in cooperation with
the private and public sectors.
Exhibited products included high-quality handicrafts
inspired by Jordanian culture and folklore, with each small-sized project
complementing the other to create competitive products and providing employment
opportunities for youths across the Kingdom.
According to the Princess Taghrid Institute for Development
and Training, which had a role in the implementation of the Productive Youth
Initiative, 35 young Jordanians have received training in the first phase to
enhance the quality of their products in line with international standards and
to market them online.
Their products will also be on exhibition at Dar Nemeh in
Amman’s Jabal Luweibdeh area and other locations, while work is underway to
build partnerships with the private sector to market them further.
