Doha, Qatar: Whether developing leadership skills, exploring creative talents, staying active through sport, or discovering new passions, people across Qatar will find something to inspire them at Education City this summer.
From June to August, Qatar Foundation (QF) is offering a diverse range of camps, workshops, classes, and activities that provide unique opportunities for learning, connection, and personal growth. Interested participants can browse programs and register through the Education City App or website.
“At Qatar Foundation, we believe learning and personal growth should continue far beyond the classroom and throughout the year,” said Hamad S. Al-Shaiba, Head of Sports Programming, QF. “The activities running throughout the summer reflect Education City’s unique ability to bring together diverse opportunities that inspire curiosity, creativity, leadership, and well-being in young people.
