Ooredoo participates in Proteges graduation
Kuwait: Ooredoo, the fastest network in Kuwait, participated in the graduation of the 6th generation of the Proteges on Sunday evening in Yarmouk Cultural Center, an establishment of Dar al-Athar alIslamiyyah.
The graduation ceremony was attended by Ooredoo Kuwait General Manager and CEO Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Thani, COO Frederic Debord, and Corporate Communications Senior Director Mijbil Alayoub.
Commenting on this, Ooredoo Corporate Communications Senior Director Mijbil Alalyoub said, “We are very proud of the Proteges graduates today, who proved their excellence and creativity. We also take great pride in our sponsorship of Proteges, an effective and life changing program that allows youth to gain essential and practical skills and knowledge that will allow them to grow with a stronger sense of direction. This sponsorship comes to reiterate our position as a leader in youth development in Kuwait.”
The 6th generation of the Proteges titled their project ‘Waseelah,’ an Arabic word that means ‘path’ or ‘way.’ Waseelah is a platform that strives to raise awareness that all talents are influential, and motivate the general public to express themselves through various forms of art. It has culminated in the musical production entitled the Key of Life, which uses music and acting to demonstrate the types of classical Arabic music.
Ooredoo Kuwait has also played an active role in supporting ProtÈgÈs activities, which include the lecture presented by Professor Fathi Al-Khamisi’s on the revolutionary work of the Egyptian musician Sayed Darwish, and the introductory session that was held with the main mentors for this season of Proteges.
The Proteges program was launched in 2010, with the objective to mentor youth between the age of 16 and 24 by local iconic figures in different fields. The program aims to reinforce the social and personal skills of youth, develop their selfawareness and improve their critical and creative thinking. The program includes workshops, projects and open discussion circles.
