Green entrepreneurship is the youth’s pathway to the future

The greatest challenge in Ajloun is unemployment. Youth are educated and ambitious, yet they are trapped by limited opportunities and difficult economic conditions. Here, the urgent need for quality education, innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship as practical tools for change becomes clear. We don’t want mere small, temporary projects; we seek a radical shift in how education and training are perceived.

Unless current curricula integrate concepts of entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology, they will remain disconnected from market demands. Practical training should not be just symbolic hours, but rather long, intensive programs that prepare students to face the job market. Graduates must possess real skills: the ability to work within a team, problem-solving, turning ideas into projects, preparing feasibility studies, project writing, managing public relations, and effective communication in foreign languages. These are not luxuries but essential necessities for fair competition in the labor market.

But Ajloun is not just a green environment; it is also a rich tourist destination that has yet to be properly invested in. Why don’t we teach our youth how to manage tourist trails? Why don’t we train them to establish local guesthouses or develop rural products marketed through online platforms? And why don’t we integrate agriculture with tourism under the umbrella of sustainable entrepreneurship? These are real economic opportunities waiting to be unlocked.

Today, we send a clear message: the youth of Ajloun can no longer tolerate marginalization. They are a present voice that refuses to remain on the sidelines. What we ask for is a genuine partnership with international organizations and civil society institutions—partnerships that invest in our capabilities and open new horizons for us.

And the most important question remains:
How can green entrepreneurship open new horizons for the youth of Ajloun, steering them away from traditional unemployment?
And why don’t we invest in tourism, agriculture, and the environment as a gateway to a genuine local economic renaissance?
