Sharjah: Sharjah Youth, affiliated with the Rubu' Qarn Foundation for Creating Future Leaders and Innovators, has launched the Skills Lab.
According to Emirates News Agency, the lab is organised in five of its centres across the Emirate of Sharjah: Wasit Youth, Khorfakkan Youth, Kalba Youth, Dibba Al Hisn Youth, and Mleiha Youth.
The programme is organised under the umbrella of the Central Region Centres, under the slogan "Where Skill Meets Fun." It serves as a parallel programme to the 'Let's Summer' 2025 activities, offering Sharjah Youth members an opportunity to develop their skills and explore their potential in an interactive environment. This initiative aligns with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and his wife, H.H. Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, regarding the importance of building human capital. The lab's activities are set to continue until the 31st of the month.
Abdul Hamid Al Yasi, Director of the lab, emphasised the importance of investing in human capital. The Youth Care Department at Sharjah Youth Foundation stated that the Skills Lab offers an exceptional opportunity to make the most of the summer vacation through a unique package of programmes delivered in a safe environment. These programmes are designed to develop, discover, and support the talents of participants, guiding them toward excellence.
Al Yassi noted that this year's Lab offers participants a summer experience that blends practical creativity with applied knowledge. The focus has been on innovation, offering more than 100 specialised programmes within eleven themes that address the interests of young people and open new horizons for expression.
On its first day, the lab saw more than 550 participants from Sharjah Youth, the Sharjah Police Sciences Academy, the Al Hamriyah Cultural and Sports Club, and the Sharjah Social Empowerment Foundation. This turnout reflects Sharjah's commitment to strengthening community partnerships and interaction with local institutions, serving the interests of future generations. This supports the vision of the Rubu' Qarn Foundation as a community partner in building and empowering informed generations.
