PESHAWAR – The growing role of young people in technology, skills development and public affairs has brought increased attention to community workers operating outside Pakistan’s major urban centres. Among those involved in these areas in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is Faiz Ur Rehman, whose activities have included youth engagement, technology-related training and political work.
Faiz Ur Rehman has been involved in initiatives aimed at introducing young people to digital skills and technology-based learning. His activities have included training sessions and community programmes through which participants have been exposed to practical knowledge intended to support education, employment and professional development.
Information provided about his work states that thousands of individuals have been reached through various training and community initiatives associated with him. The activities have primarily involved young people and communities seeking access to digital and technical learning opportunities.
His public activities have not been limited to social work. Faiz Ur Rehman has also participated in political activities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including engagement with local communities and young people and discussions surrounding public and political matters.
Faiz Ur Rehman has been associated with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and his name has been linked with the party’s consideration of candidates for a Senate ticket from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Senate-selection process generated wider political discussion within the province, with several individuals being considered for representation in the upper house of parliament.
His political involvement has developed alongside his work with communities and young people. Rather than operating solely through political activities, his public profile has also been connected with training and social initiatives focused on access to technology and skills.
Digital education has become an increasingly relevant issue for young people across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, particularly in districts where specialised training opportunities are less readily available. Community-level programmes have consequently provided some young people with exposure to digital tools and skills that can be used for further education, employment and independent work.
Faiz Ur Rehman also maintains a public presence on TikTok and his account features videos relating to his public activities, community engagement, political work and other areas of interest.
His social-media activity has become another means of communicating directly with an audience and documenting aspects of his public engagements. The account provides a digital record of content associated with his activities beyond traditional community and political settings.
Faiz Ur Rehman’s public work therefore extends across several areas, including community engagement, youth development, technology training and political participation. His activities place him within a broader group of social and political workers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa whose work intersects with the province’s growing focus on youth participation and digital skills.
