The General Directorate of Civil Defence presented a training course on fire safety and accident prevention, which is one of the essential programmes at the camp, focusing on educating participants about the proper use of fire extinguishers and safe procedures in case of any unfortunate fire incidents.
The camp also featured a poetry session, where children recited poems in a unique and beautiful style.
Further, there was also a quiz session on general knowledge, presented by Aisha al-Idrisi, where the participants actively engaged and received symbolic gifts.
These entertaining and educational programmes were highly appreciated by the children, in addition to the shooting exercises provided by the Shooting Club.
Meanwhile, Jana al-Meslimani, producer at Al Jazeera Media Institute and one of its ambassadors, conducted a training workshop on video production, aiming to introduce the young participants to the world of video production and enhance their artistic and creative skills.
