MOVE Program-National Charity School Dubai
Celebrating one year of the MOVE program for 250 high school students from the National Charity School Dubai. The MOVE is a one year program designed to empower underprivileged teens with the skills they need to succeed in their future careers as well as make a difference in their own communities. Here are some of the highlights!
- Over 70 students participated in public speaking competitions with some fantastic results!
-
Students conducted community projects to improve their school as well as learn vital skills such as leadership, responsibility and teamworking. Some of the results were:
- Three recycling campaigns planned and implemented by the students in the girls, boys, and primary sections of the school
- A new sitting area constructed in the boys’ section, complete with benches, tables and green plants.
- A new garden in the girls’ section
- A traditional UAE heritage tent in the girls’ section which will serve as a showcase of Arabic culture as well as an enjoyable place for the students to sit in and relax.
A special thanks to all the volunteers who helped assist with their time and expertise for these projects.
The material presented in the Start Early course is structured and organized, and enables the participants to understand the concepts clearly. I like the fact that the course is fun and interactive, unlike other workshops that rely only on theory. Educators and parents need to come to workshops like this.
