The leadership skills of Arab children are being honed at the 12th Sharjah Arab Children Forum (SACF) that is on until April 3 at the Riqqa Children Centre.
Themed 'Hear us, We are the Future,' the event is being held under the patronage of Shaikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Wife of the Ruler of Sharjah, and Chairperson of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs.
Speaking about the workshops and programmes at the forum, Reem BinKaram, head of the organising committee and director of Sharjah Children Centres, said: "The primary goal of this initiative is to nurture children and guide them to embrace the right path in a proper manner, so as to ensure they are able to build a better future for themselves."
"Formulating children's futures greatly relies on their cognitive abilities and ways of thinking. This is why we at the forum have carefully selected multi-dimension programmes that focus on how to shape children's future in a positive manner," BinKaram added.
Competitions, drawing and painting are among the many activities conducted during the three-day programme. One specific initiative saw the children attending making their future's 'suitcase' that comprised all that they need for the coming years. Another main theme highlighted during the programme was 'sustainable cities' to motivate children to think creatively and come up with innovative solutions and ideas about the future of children as leaders of these cities.
SACF is a biannual pan-Sharjah initiative established to be a platform for Arab children to discuss issues and exchange ideas. It facilitates the sharing of experiences with their peers from all nationalities in a safe and stable environment conducive to creativity and collective work. SACF treats children as an important section of society who play a significant role in shaping the present and future of the world.
