Global Muslim Youth Summit 2025 in Makkah

The Middle East Youth Summit (MEYS) 2025 is happening again! It's a great chance for Muslim youth from all over to gather, build leadership skills, and strengthen their faith in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, one of the holiest places in Islam. The Youth Break the Boundaries (YBB) group is throwing a four-day event that’s going to be packed with all sorts of activities. You can expect to participate in workshops where you’ll learn new skills and explore different ideas. There will be cultural exchanges, which is a cool way to share and experience diverse traditions and perspectives. Plus, there'll be chances to connect on a deeper level spiritually, so it's a great opportunity to meet like-minded folks and really engage with one another.

About the Summit

The MEYS 2025 event, titled “Empowering Emerging Leaders for Positive Change within the Islamic Brotherhood,” will gather about 100 young people, aged 15 to 40, from different backgrounds. This gathering is all about connecting these young leaders and encouraging them to make a difference in their communities. They’ll come together to connect over shared values, global peace, and their Islamic identity.

This isn’t just a leadership program; it's also an opportunity to perform Umrah, join in conversations about different cultures, and participate in workshops focused on peace, kindness, and giving back to the community.
