Riyadh-Deputy Crown Prince and Minister of Defense Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz attended the 4th Saudi Tweeps Forum, which was organized by the Foundation of Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz (MISK Foundation).

The event was also attended by a great number of youth who are interested in tweeting and in social media in general. They attended to discuss the most important topics and brainstorm the creative and positive ideas.

The forum, one of the initiatives of the MISK Foundation, sought to develop the country’s youth at all levels. This is particularly important because they represent 60 percent of the Kingdom’s population. The launch of the forum comes as an extension to MISK Foundation’s approach to keep pace with modern times and the aspirations of the youth.

It included a variety of items including panel discussions, interactive platforms, presentations and workshops, aimed at enriching the knowledge and communication skills of the youth, notably on how to deal with social media in a creative way.

The forum was also designed to inspire creative thinking, exploit opportunities and benefit from other experiences. The MISK Foundation selected a group of key subjects related to Twitter, with information sessions, that raised cultural and communication awareness of users.
