Shabab PRO Program
Who We are
Shabab PRO Program
Technology and Leadership Initiative
A virtual youth program designed to foster interaction, communication, and capacity-building among Syrian youth. It encompasses thousands of university students and graduates residing in Syria, aged 18 to 39. The program aims to enhance members' abilities in leadership, civic, and comprehensive technical fields, ultimately strengthening their role in community-building and laying the foundation for the future of Syria.
With the increasingly extreme exclusion of national and ethnic identities, the Shabab PRO program aims to provide a virtual homeland for Syrian youth in all conflict zones, combining knowledge, academic education, and communication (through cross-border networks and affiliations) to confront the exclusion and isolation of young people, strengthen peace and social cohesion, and contribute to building trust, understanding, idea exchange, and dialogue between different groups. It also addresses common challenges and creates a flexible environment that brings about permanent positive change and a more secure future.
What is Shabab PRO
The Shabab PRO platform is powered by Microsoft Teams, a key application within Microsoft Office 365 provided to every Shabab PRO member. Microsoft Teams serves as a digital hub that brings together users, files, and data in one place. It facilitates real-time collaboration and communication, enabling seamless meetings, file and app sharing, and even fun interactions with emojis. The members are grouped into teams, and there are three main tracks.
Real-Time Collaboration
Work together on projects, share ideas, and collaborate on documents in real-time.
Communication
Engage in instant messaging, voice, and video calls to stay connected with team members.
Meetings and Schedualing
