WISE’s Doha Learning Days Festival returns for its fourth edition under the theme ‘Youth Empowerment’, to share opportunities with young people and help expand their skills in areas such as advocacy, the arts, well-being, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, tech, science, coding, and more. The event is being is hosted by Qatar Foundation (QF)’s global education initiative, the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE). The Doha Learning Days (DLD) Festival will take place from February 1 to 4 at the Msheireb Museums, and will offer over 50 workshops for families, youth, and the wider community to engage in informal experiential learning. The festival, which is free to attend, will start with a ceremony on February 1 to celebrate the 2022 WISE Awards winners and their innovation in addressing pressing education issues, before opening to the public on February 2.
Stavros N. Yiannouka, CEO of WISE, announcing the community festival, said, “With our content partners, Doha Learning Days will create an engaging environment for informal learning. The festival’s ideal location at Msheireb Museums in the very heart of Doha meets our vision for creating a dynamic community-based setting where youth are empowered to connect their classroom learning with the skills to discover and map their strengths, talents, and purpose in innovative ways.
“The unique program will appeal to students, educators, and community members of all ages and interests who are keen to explore, create, and be challenged to learn and reflect in different ways. We invite everyone to come and be part of this exciting learning festival.” WISE Doha Learning Days 2023 is held in partnership with VISA, with the support of ExxonMobil as the event Platinum Partner. Strategic partners are Msheireb Museums and Swiss Wealth Manager, Julius Baer.
In addition to the daytime school workshops which will invite students from across schools in Qatar to take part, the program will also include evening and weekend sessions to encourage the wider community to participate.
