On the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan, Dadu, Children’s Museum in Qatar, held on Thursday a Garangao event at Hamad Medical City Clubhouse for the families of public health workers, further cementing its accessibility and inclusiveness efforts in reaching out to the public.
During the celebration, children explored Islam and Muslim culture, science, and wellness, through hands-on activities – in line with two of the museum’s strategic learning aims – heritage and culture; and health and wellness.
The activities included Hzah (traditional storytelling); Alseegah (where children learn about the historical significance of the crescent moon and how Qatari jewellery has incorporated the shape into its designs); Almsahar drumming (learning about its historical significance and a percussion-making activity); Gasaa (traditional henna painting) and Fawazeer (encouraging participants to explore and learn about other cultures observing during Ramadan), as well as an interactive cooking station facilitated by the Qatari’ Women’s Association.
