Subhe Mustafa

GlocalShift Country Representative – Syria

Subhe Mustafa is GlocalShift’s Country Representative in Syria, leading national coordination, strategic

partnerships, and the design of transformative learning-to-earning pathways for youth and vulnerable

communities. With over a decade of experience spanning higher education, TVET systems, ESG

integration, and cross-border economic development, Subhe has worked across the Netherlands,

Turkey, and Syria to build innovative, resilient ecosystems that link education to real employment and

enterprise opportunities.

‍

Subhe previously led one of the region’s largest higher-education scholarship programs, supported by

European partners, and has since become a central actor in connecting Syrian institutions with global

networks across the EU, GCC, and Türkiye. His work focuses on localization, social innovation, and

building internationally accredited TVET, entrepreneurship, and business leadership programs inside

Syria’s emerging post-conflict ecosystem.

Passionate about humanitarian work and inclusive development, Subhe uses a unique advocacy

lever—crafting sonnets as policy statements, paired with AI-generated visual storytelling—to bridge

technical rigor with human emotion. Through this creative approach, he champions dignity, opportunity,

and hope for communities striving to rebuild.
