The Qatar Publishers and Distributors Forum of the Ministry of Culture, in collaboration with the Children’s Literature Centre, is set to launch the 2nd edition of the summer reading camp from Sunday to Wednesday. This year’s camp, titled ‘Reading Through the Ages’, will feature a variety of activities and professional contests designed for children and young adults.
The camp aims to promote reading and writing skills, raise awareness of their importance, and familiarise participants with the evolution of writing throughout history. Participants will also learn about the different tools used in writing across various ages.
Director of the Qatari Publishers and Distributors Forum, Jassim Ahmed Al Buainain, emphasised the importance of the camp in offering opportunities for children and broadening their new horizons to explore the world of writing with its various phases.
He affirmed that the camp is not merely a summer activity, but rather a step to help children internalise the culture of reading and build an erudite and conscious generation stemming from the ministry’s vision in this regard.
For her part, Director of Children’s Literature Centre Asmaa Al Kuwari noted the Ministry of Culture’s support for children’s activities, highlighting the positive response on the part of children’s parents to the programme.
She pointed out that the centre’s participation comes as part of its firm commitment to enhancing the role of reading and writing and offering a rich and unique cultural experience that leaves a profound impact on children’s hearts.
