The EU Delegation in Qatar, in collaboration with the Syrian Forum and other partners, organised a special day of fun and wellbeing for over 100 Syrian children residing in Qatar, on the sidelines of “Children Above All"– an Education Above All Foundation (EAA) event, held recently.
The event, built on the success of the EU Delegation's one-month Summer Camp for Syrian children in August, aimed to provide a safe and supportive environment for the children to engage in various sports and social activities, promote healthy lifestyles and to raise awareness about mental health, while supporting the cause of the EAA event.
“The EU Delegation in Qatar is proud to partner with local organisations that share our commitment to supporting children affected by conflict and displacement,” said
Dr Cristian Tudor, ambassador of the European Union. “Through these partnerships, we can harness power of sports to promote physical and mental wellbeing, foster social connections, and instil resilience in these children”.
The day-long event featured a variety of activities, including sports training sessions, friendly matches, cultural and artistic workshops as well as masterclasses on mental health and nutrition. The children also had the opportunity to enjoy a series of engaging team-building games, creating a vibrant atmosphere filled with laughter and excitement.
