Doha, Qatar: Young people in Qatar and across the globe, between the ages of 18-26, are encouraged to apply for the seventh cohort of the Doha Debates Ambassador Program, offered by Qatar Foundation's Doha Debates.

The program equips participants with critical intercultural discussion, communication, and consensus-building skills to address global problems and find collaborative solutions for a healthy, equitable future.

Successful applicants will be invited to join a five week online community of practice from September 2 to 30 2025 where they will explore majlis-style debate, communication skills and consensus building with global peers.

The program is open to fluent English speakers who have access to an internet-enabled computer for video conferencing. The deadline for application is July 20, 2025. Interested candidates can learn more and apply at DohaDebates/Ambassador .

Participants will engage in weekly virtual learning sessions guided by facilitation and intercultural communication expert Dr. Brandon Ferderer and systems-thinking specialist Jennifer Geist, along with various international guest speakers. They will hone their skills through the lens of Doha Debates' video series Better Conversations.

Upon successful completion of the community of practice, cohort members will be invited to engage in eight additional weeks of the program from October 14 to December 2, 2025. They will learn to use systems thinking to deepen their understanding of complex global issues, conflict negotiation and to practice majlis-style debate.

Launched in 2021 with partner organization Shared_Studios, the program has engaged hundreds of emerging leaders, representing 70 countries on six continents.

Participants learn from one another and from expert international leaders and activists, harnessing the power of dialogue and storytelling to understand and value the diverse worldviews and beliefs of their global peers.
