Sharjah: The Environment and Protected Areas Authority (EPPA) in Sharjah has organized the sixth edition of the ‘Together for a More Beautiful Summer Program’ under the title ‘Environmental Guide.’
The ten-day program aims to fulfil EPAA’s vital role in promoting awareness about the environment and natural life, with a particular focus on children and adolescents.
The objective of this summer program is to equip participants, aged between 10 and 15, with the knowledge and skills required to become environmental guides.
The program is an extension of the previous session, which focused on providing participants with comprehensive environmental guidance.
Specialists from the Sharjah Natural History and Botanical Museum, the Islamic Botanical Garden, the Children’s Farm, and Arabia’s Wildlife Centre will actively participate in the implementation of the activities in the program. These specialists are well-versed in the roles of environmental guides as well as reception staff in museums.
In line with the directives of Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, we are committed to implementing various programs for participating students that cater to their needs and enhance their knowledge and are dedicated to promoting environmental awareness among the younger generation. Through this program, we aim to instill a sense of responsibility and care for the environment in our youth.
Ms. Hana Saif Al Suwaidi, Chairperson of the EPAA in Sharjah, shared.
“The selection of this year’s program theme and its content was a deliberate and specialised process. We anticipate that it will be a tremendous success and yield positive results in the future. This program will foster human connections, promote environmental awareness, and spread the importance of protecting our surroundings. It is our duty to preserve the achievements of our nation and contribute to the progress and civilisation of our beloved emirate of Sharjah,” Ms. Al Suwaidi added.
