In a bid to inspire and educate the next generation of leaders, the Office of Sustainability at KAUST recently conducted an engaging workshop for a group of 25 female middle and high school Mawhiba students visiting the campus from Madinah as part of Strategic National Advancement Program (KAUST National Young Talent Development).

The workshop began with an overview of sustainability principles, highlighting its significance in addressing global challenges like climate change.
