An Evening with the Builders of the Middle East
Join us for a compelling panel discussion featuring members of Builders of the Middle East, a diverse group of activists, storytellers, and digital creators working to reshape how the world sees the region — and each other.

This program will explore how these changemakers are using social media platforms to challenge divisive narratives and promote coexistence, empathy, and shared humanity. Through personal stories and strategic online engagement, Builders of the Middle East are creating spaces for dialogue across borders, identities, and ideologies.

Panelists will share how they navigate complex political and cultural landscapes both on the ground and online, and how their work is influencing public perception, especially among younger audiences. We’ll also discuss the role of digital storytelling in building bridges between communities and fostering a more inclusive vision for the future.
