Dreama Orphan Care Centre and Qatar University (QU), with the support of ExxonMobil Qatar, have launched a joint awareness campaign " To Thrive" to highlight the importance of empowering and integrating orphans into society. The aim is to spread awareness messages with a positive impact and mainly targets university students, administrative and teaching staff, and all members of society. QU students will carry out the campaign's activities, reflecting confidence in the abilities and creativity of young people to contribute to societal causes. Sheikha Najla bint Ahmed al-Thani, executive director of Dreama, said: "The campaign's motto stems from our belief that every individual is a flower capable of thriving if they have a supportive environment. We believe in the ability of the university's students to translate our goals into reality, and we invite everyone to be part of this positive change." Rashid bin Rashid al-Hajri, vice president and director of Public and Government Affairs at ExxonMobil Qatar, said: "The campaign represents a pioneering step towards enhancing community awareness of orphans' issues and embodies a successful model of partnership that harnesses the energies of youth and the potential of major institutions to build a brighter and more supportive future for all members of society.”

Qatar University (QU) and ExxonMobil Qatar launched the 11th edition of the Qatar University ExxonMobil STEM Teacher Academy (Questa) Wednesday, reaffirming their commitment to advancing STEM education locally.Established in 2012, the academy is the only international edition of the original ExxonMobil Teachers Academy developed in the US. It continues to stand as model of educational innovation in Qatar, with a particular focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects, a statement said.Developed in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) and QU’s National Center for Educational Development (NCED), the academy equips math and science teachers with integrative STEM approaches and instructional methods. Its overall objective is to inspire more students to pursue STEM careers, drive innovation, and contribute to a sustainable future for Qatar.This year’s academy brings together 60 educators from grades 7-8 across 30 government schools, in addition to 10 Teach For Qatar (TFQ) fellows. Participants will take part in a two-phase learning experience that includes a 42-hour workshop, followed by hands on classroom-based field training during the 2025–26 academic year. They will also receive personalised mentoring and coaching to effectively apply STEM practices in their classrooms.“Investing in teachers today is an investment in the future,” said Rashid al-Hajri, vice president, Government & Public Affairs Manager for ExxonMobil Qatar. “The academy goes beyond training; it’s shaping the next generation of STEM leaders. We’re proud to be part of this long-standing, renowned initiative, that has achieved remarkable outcomes over the years alongside our partners.”Since its inception, the academy has trained more than 550 teachers and 67 TFQ fellows, impacting over 22,500 students across Qatar. Looking ahead, the academy will develop select educators as master trainers and establish key schools as designated STEM learning hubs to increase its reach and impact across the country.“Our support for the Qatar University ExxonMobil STEM Teacher Academy reflects our commitment to providing quality education that inspires students and contributes to the objectives of the Qatar National Vision 2030 and the Third National Development Strategy,” said Maha al-Rowaili, Assistant Undersecretary for Educational Affairs at the MoEHE.Dr Huda al-Kubaisi, director, NCED at QU, thanked ExxonMobil Qatar for supporting Questa, a leading platform for raising awareness about STEM and empowering teachers. "Such efforts foster creativity and innovation, and support Qatar’s aspirations for a brighter future,” she added.
