Nama Centre, a member of Qatar Foundation for Social Work, has announced the launch of its annual plan for 2017, the first of a series of practical steps of the strategic directions revealed last year.
In 2017, Nama Centre will continue to “work hard” in pursuit of its vision, assuming the role of the engine in the wheel of development and prosperity in the state of Qatar, through its effective social activities and contributions at local and international events.
Among the most anticipated events is the launch of the ‘Moqbeleen’ initiative, a campaign targeting youth and introducing them to the centre’s various activities and the largest initiative focused on instilling awareness and the advancement of the aspirations of young people towards excellence and leadership.
In addition to celebrating Sports Day 2017, Nama Centre said the event aims to bolster the base of national participation of youth in various sports activities, as well as to highlight the importance of sports and exercise in the lives of all members of society, especially the youth.
Nama Centre also announced the staging of the Qatari Entrepreneur Award, ‘Reyada’, which is considered a pioneering programme to encourage entrepreneurial projects in Qatar, designed by Nama Centre to celebrate the owners of entrepreneurial projects in Qatar and their supporting institutions.
Nama Centre will also participate in the Qatari Youth Forum, organised by the Ministry of Culture and Sports, which serves as a free platform for young people to express their creativity and present their ideas that have community development potential.
The centre is set to play an active role in community outreach, and the effective utilisation of social media platforms while focusing on social influencers, in addition to the celebration of the Family Day in Qatar, International Youth Day, International Volunteer Day, World Day of Social Justice, and many others.
Mariam bint Abdullatif al-Mannai, director of the Community Services Department, and the director in charge of running Nama’s affairs, said: “Here we are at the outset of the new year, proceeding on the path towards the application of this strategy by focusing completely on youth, the beating heart of our society, as they are the ones with the leading and pioneering role in ensuring the stability of the social system.”
