 The Bahrain-based developmental NGO, Visionaries, held its annual event on Monday, "Success Stories" by Visionaries, featuring international architect Carlos Zapata, American fashion designer Maggie Norris, and international artist Benjamin Shine.

 Hosting three international public figures in a youth engagement effort, "Success Stories" by Visionaries aims to inspire local youth and empowers young talents by providing inspiring global examples of career success.

 Visionaries co-founder and Head of Public Relations Ali Khalid Al-Araifi, in his speech, shed light on Visionaries’ role in the society since its establishment in 2013 and the goals and values that "Success Stories" is built on.

 Following that, the interactive panel discussion commenced and was moderated by Visionaries CEO, Shaikh. Khalifa bin Khalid Al Khalifa, along with receiving countless questions from the audience.

 ‘We are very pleased to have a full house this evening’ Al-Araifi commented, ‘Especially that most audience members are of the youth. They are here today to listen and interact with the distinguished personalities, and we owe this to our partners INJAZ Bahrain, Tamkeen, University of Bahrain and others.’

 Furthermore, Shaikha Nayla bint Rashid Al Khalifa, Head of Organizing at Visionaries, stated that events and programmes such as "Success Stories" leave a tremendous influence on youth and are geared towards building their capacity through first-hand interaction between them and prominent international figures, which is what Visionaries continuously aims for in all of its events.
