KUWAIT, March 3 (KUNA): “Together”, a Kuwaiti development youth project, serves Kuwait’s state development drive and targets the 17-30 year-old age group, the chief of the project Nawal Al-Muhaini said here Sunday.

At a press conference tonight to launch the project, she said the initiative included three stages: evening sessions, knowledge academy and development projects. They will start as of March and continues throughout the year.

The youth development project depends on the productive youth group which makes up over 63 percent of the society.
