The Qur’anic Botanic Garden (QBG) has launched a ‘Fun & Learn’ educational programme at Oxygen Park, the Green Lung of Education City. The initiative is designed to introduce children to the importance of agriculture, the environment and conservation. The ‘Fun & Learn’ programme invites private and independent primary schools from across the country to participate in five interactive activity stations every Thursday from November 10 until April 27, 2017.
More than 40 students from Al-Rashad Model Independent Primary School for Boys joined the inaugural session of the ‘Fun & Learn’ programme, and an additional 60 students from Qatar Academy Al Khor participated the following week.
The activities include growing plants in recycled materials at the ‘Green Pipe’ station; creating landscape gardening ornaments from plant pots at the ‘Green Doll’ station; and a treasure hunt to explore the landmarks of Oxygen Park.
