Qatar Youth Hostels (QYH) launched the first edition of Tadweer (Arabic for recycling) initiative on Sunday.
The initiative, that is to continue until Thursday, was opened in the presence of the Assistant Undersecretary for Public Service Affairs at the Ministry of Municipality, the Head of the QYH and Bodies Department at the Ministry of Sports and Youth, and the Director of Msheireb Museums.
Abdullah Saeed, Head of Public Relations and Communications said on the opening: “We are happy to open the Tadweer initiative whose founder is Al Anoud al Muqbali, in the company's house square in Msheireb City, which will last for 5 days. The initiative is distinguished by the presence of success partners who contributed to implementing the initiative on the ground. Namely (Istidama Company - the official sponsor, Erthna - the community sponsor, Msheireb Museums - the host entity, Action Media Company - the media sponsor).”
Al Anoud al Muqbali, the founder of the initiative, said: “Initially, I established the idea through my participation in the Tourism Ideas Incubator Program organized by QYH in 2023. I searched for an idea that could be implemented on the ground and which is sustainable at the same time. Accordingly, I came up with the idea of an interactive awareness initiative that works to exploit fabrics that are harmful to the environment and reuse them for useful purposes. Accordingly, the initiative won second place and then moved to the planning and implementation stage in cooperation with QYH."
