Together, the two programmes are expected to welcome more than 300 participants and 600 visitors throughout the summer season.

Qatar Foundation’s Pre University Education has launched an extensive summer programme for both boys and girls which include a number of extracurricular activities and academic sessions.

Children are provided with indoor activities and playing facilities, while some of the camps are aimed at personality development and communication skills. The participants are also provided with lessons in music and drawing. Many of the parents of the children attending these summer programmes are quite happy about the progress made by their children. One such parent said: “My child used to be very shy about many things and was not very comfortable speaking freely in front of others. However, as he started attending the summer programme, he can express himself better and has come out of his secluded nature. With two more weeks to go, I am sure he will pick up more skills.” Meanwhile,, various research institutes in the country are offering summer internship programmes for university students, giving them an opportunity to experience world-class research activities in the country as well as to have close interaction with the researchers and the state-of-the-art laboratories. Furthermore, a large number of sports activities are also being held for children across the country during summer.
