Long-term sponsorship deal to support STEM at first publicly funded national institution
Dadu, Children’s Museum of Qatar has signed on Qatar Shell as one of the “Founding Family” members of Qatar’s first publicly funded national entity.
Under the long-term sponsorship agreement, Qatar Shell will be the exclusive sponsor of Dadu’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Gallery, introducing and inspiring children of all ages across various academic disciplines.
HE Sheikha Al-Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, Chairperson of Qatar Museums (QM), and Richard Tallant, managing director and chairman of Qatar Shell Companies, officiated the agreement during a signing ceremony at the QM.
Dadu and Qatar Shell recently hosted a weaving workshop for children aged five and older at Place Vendôme, in celebration of Garangao – Ramadan festivities held for children.
“Qatar Shell joins Dadu’s expanding ‘Founding Family’ members, whose generous support and shared vision will contribute to the growth and development of Qatar’s children and youth,” said HE Sheikha Al Mayassa. “As the exclusive sponsor of the STEM Gallery, Qatar Shell’s sponsorship will nurture a cross-disciplinary approach where children can discover various fields and identify key areas of ability and interest.”
“In joining with our arts organisation, Shell has put an ‘A’ in their expertise of STEM resulting in a STEAM programme that will be beneficial to all,” she added.
Dadu is dedicated to the continuous enrichment of the lives of children and their families.
The museum is being designed to nurture, challenge and inspire Qatar’s future leaders and caretakers, fuelling their creativity and encouraging empathy and understanding.
“Making the future is at the heart of Shell, and we are delighted to partner with Qatar Museums to support their mission to inspire Qatar’s children and to help equip them for the challenges of tomorrow,” said Tallant. “Innovation, technology and science are part of Shell’s DNA, and we share Qatar Museums’ ambition to look for creative, innovative and impactful ways to empower future generations to become agents of change and develop STEM habits.”
“This collaboration will support and celebrate the growth of young engineers and we look forward to partnering with Qatar Museums to support their creative vision and the human and social development pillars of the Qatar National Vision 2030,” he added.
Dadu and Qatar Shell’s investment in STEM education in Qatar aligns with the acceleration of the global digital revolution due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, in which societies are embracing STEM to advance sustainable development.
