The first episode of Youth in Action features Hany Anan, founder of ToRead, a Lebanese social enterprise dedicated to helping young people access opportunities, develop new skills, and prepare for the future through education and technology. Inspired by his own journey as a scholarship recipient, Hany transformed a personal initiative into one of Lebanon's leading youth empowerment platforms, connecting thousands of young people with scholarships, internships, training programs, and career opportunities.
In this conversation, Hany discusses the barriers preventing many young people from reaching opportunities despite their potential, and explains why access to information can be just as important as access to education itself. The episode explores how digital platforms can bridge this gap, the importance of building practical skills alongside academic qualifications, and why collaboration between organizations is essential to expanding opportunities for youth.
From entrepreneurship and innovation to leadership, employability, and the future of work, this episode examines how empowering young people today can help shape a more resilient and prosperous Lebanon tomorrow.
