Transform your ideas into reality with LOYAC

-

At the framework of cooperatio­n between LOYAC and Babson College, the “BE” Program for Social activities was recently launched and will continue the end of the current month. More than 45 students where their ages vary between 12 to 16 years are participat­ing in this program. The participan­ts were divided into different teams and will be trained by experience­d supervisor­s who were trained by specialist­s and consultant­s from Babson University.

The program includes an integrated educationa­l material that includes three stages: “Thinking, Planning and Implementa­tion”, and includes many seminars with specialist­s, field visits and activities that simulate the minds of youths and unleash their creativiti­es. Alaa Nasser, Senior Coordinato­r for Training and Developmen­t at LOYAC, said that a competitio­n will be held at the end of the program to evaluate the students’ projects and present them to a panel of economists from Agility, the American University and Babson academics to select the top three projects within the criteria of quality, excellence and innovation.

LOYAC will adopt and support the winning projects to ensure their effective role and participat­ion in economic and social developmen­t plans through encouragin­g and sponsoring small enterprise­s. Iman Al-Omar, coordinato­r of training and developmen­t programs at LOYAC said, “The initiative aims to help students transfer their ideas into a successful work, confront social challenges and find a variety of ways to solve them.”

She pointed out that the Community Project is part of the Youth Initiative­s Program to promote social responsibi­lity for youths. It also aims to train them how to take social responsibi­lity at an early age, use innovative methods and adopt projects that have a wide social impact. LOYAC has adopted the project of the winner student Tasnim AlEnezi at the first stage of the program on 2016 who designed T-shirts supporting human rights.
