Qatar explored the role of emotional intelligence in social advocacy, while the Education Above All (EAA) Foundation hosted a workshop focusing on leadership and civic engagement during - and beyond - times of crisis. Through its participation in the Forum, EAA also managed the collection of donations for recipients of its scholarships in areas of conflict in the Middle East and North Africa region. And QF alumni whose innovative projects, social initiative, and leadership qualities have contributed to positive social change showcased their work, and inspired others, in the Forum's Impact Zone. "In these very unique times, think about the fact that we can make a big difference making sure that we keep alive the vision of Qatar Foundation not only being a place that unlocks human potential, but being a place that really makes a transformation in our communities," Francisco Marmolejo, President of Higher Education and Education Advisor, Qatar Foundation, told the Forum. "One of the best legacies we can creat e is to nurture not only the best professionals in their fields, but also the most committed citizens of our community." Over 18,000 students have graduated from QF's schools and universities, with their educational experience nurturing their sense of moral commitment and social responsibility and equipping them to be drivers of positive change, and the QF Alumni Program is open to all of them to join. With the aim of cultivating a global network of alumni connected by their shared journey at QF, it is intended to provide them with the opportunity to help fellow alumni achieve their goals and retain their links to each other and Qatar, including encouraging new alumni to remain in Qatar and support the nation's development after they graduate. The QF Alumni Office also advocates for policies that help graduates of QF's education ecosystem contribute to Qatar's journey, and builds relationships with public and private sector organizations.
