With the advent of new norms following the outbreak of COVID-19, Amirul Syazmie said various aspects of daily life are now focussed on the digital world, including how to interact, meetings, seminars, learning and economic activities.
The e-exhibition saw participants being briefed on the organisations involved and introduced to active youth associations, movements and the activities.
The programme was aimed at increasing knowledge among the youth and instil interest in them to continue to participate in activities and virtual discussions to promote creativity and innovation in a bid to develop youth.
