Summer programme for children launched
The stated goal of this programme is to assist children, aged 7 to 12, in finding productive ways to spend their summer vacation. July 14-24, 2025, is the date of the programme.
Aiming to acquaint youngsters with the work and services offered by several departments of Dibba Al Hisn Municipality, the summer programme has garnered extensive interest.
A fun, safe, and informative space is provided for children to learn new things, grow in self-confidence, and develop their personalities. Developing a sense of civic duty is another goal of the curriculum.
The initiative includes special activities and events covering a range of fields, such as agriculture, engineering, technology, strategic planning, public health, innovation, and entertainment.
Additionally, the programme offers educational and environmental workshops and awareness lectures tailored to various interests. To encourage participation, children will receive daily gifts, certificates, and prizes.
Sessions run from 9:00am to 12:00pm, and there are two weeks of the summer programme: one for boys (14-17 July) and another for girls (21-24 July). The programme has made a real impact by bringing attention to the issue and providing youngsters with meaningful and entertaining ways to spend their summer break, making it an integral part of the municipality's community calendar.
The director of Dibba Al-Hisn Municipality, Talib Abdullah Al Yahyai, stressed the importance of the municipality's dedication to organising such programmes for the city's youngsters and helping them thrive.
This aligns with the vision of His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, who advocates for the productive use of children's time during the summer break and for nurturing a generation capable of leading a bright future.
According to Al Yahyai, the goal of the 'Today's Children... Tomorrow's Leaders' initiative is to teach children about the several jobs that are available to them in the city.
