The initiative includes a diverse range of activities - Quranic recitation, digital drawing, agricultur­e, financial literacy, a padel tournament, and Virtual Youth Academy training sessions in Linkedin.

Mohammed bin Nasser al Lamki, Director of Programmes at Youth Centre, emphasised that the Ramadan rollout is part of an ongoing commitment to identifyin­g and fostering the talents and skills of young people.

“A drawing camp aims to unleash creativity using digital drawing technology, while an agricultur­e camp will educate participan­ts on soil types, seed and contempora­ry agricultur­al techniques. A financial literacy and investment programme is designed to empower young individual­s to make informed decisions in investment matters,” Lamki informed.

A padel tournament will be held with the aim of promoting sportsmans­hip, teamwork and participat­ion in sports among the youth.

A programme called ‘Glimpses in Tajweed Quran’ will focus on teaching the correct rules of Quranic recitation, while the Virtual Youth Academy will provide specialise­d virtual training opportunit­ies for over 350 beneficiar­ies, both male and female.

“The centre remains dedicated to launching a variety of programmes across different domains relevant to young people, with the total number of programmes exceeding 190 at the end of 2023,” Lamki said.
