The 14th International Government Communication Forum (IGCF) began with two motivational keynote addresses, attended by His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah; Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Chairman of the Sharjah Media Council; and Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Chairperson of the Sharjah Family and Cultural Council.
Sal Khan, a well-known educator and entrepreneur from the United States, gave a stirring keynote address titled “Happiness Economy,” inspiring the audience to rethink society’s actual advancement in terms of both economic production and personal fulfilment and satisfaction.
Khan framed education as the most potent instrument for empowerment, saying, “I took it upon myself to realize that dream of a world where anyone, anywhere, can access knowledge and tuition for free.” “Education is the start of change, not a goal in and of itself. The democratization of knowledge is also an invaluable link between various sectors of society, especially government and its people,” he said passionately.
