Stories From Dubai Future Forum 2024

In 2024, we had the largest in-person convening during the Dubai Future Forum. These are stories and reflections from NGFP network fellows and network members who attended the event.

Dozens of NGFP fellows, Young Voices winners, network members, judges and partners attended the Dubai Future Forum in 2024. Thanks to the support of our partner, Dubai Future Foundation, we had the largest in-person convening of our network.

The diversity of experiences and perspectives from our members are reflected in these interactive stories, in the form of a digital zine and videos which serves as artefacts for the future.

This project was proposed by 2023 Fellow Alex Turner, and delivered with support from NGFP’s Communications Lead and Practice Lead, as well as Dubai Future Foundation’s communications and media team.

Support for this work comes from Dubai Future Foundation and School of International Futures.
