The Cultural Village Foundation (Katara) concluded its summer camp, which ran from July 21 to August 7, with the participation of three diverse groups of students. The camp’s success highlighted Katara’s commitment to providing exceptional educational experiences for the community.
The summer camp was a collaborative effort involving the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs, the Al Jazeera Media Institute, Sout al Khaleej Radio, Al Ramii Sport Club, Qatar Red Crescent Society, Al Shaqab, Al Thuraya Planetarium, the Poetry Council, and the Al Gannas Association.
The camp aimed to enhance participants’ creativity and innovation through a variety of activities, including cultural, awareness and practical training workshops on story writing, religious lectures on Islamic values and worship, practical training on fire extinguishing and first aid, cultural competitions, traditional games, Qatari sword dance training, and field visits to Al Thuraya Planetarium and Sout Al Khaleej Radio.
Katara’s Director of Public Relations and Communications and general supervisor of the Katara Summer Camp, Salem Mabkhout Al Marri, noted that the camp’s success last year motivated the Foundation to launch a second edition this year, which saw wide participation from students who benefited from the educational and recreational activities.
Al Marri emphasised Katara’s commitment to promoting Qatari identity and enhancing participants’ knowledge and skills, turning the summer vacation into a beneficial and enjoyable experience with a positive impact on their academic pursuits.
