The Sharjah Ladies Club (SLC) successfully concluded its much-anticipated Back to School Carnival on September 1st. The event, designed to help children gear up for the new academic year in a fun and engaging way, saw a high turnout of youngsters and their mothers.
Held at the Kunooz Ballroom within the SLC facilities, the carnival offered a vibrant mix of educational and entertainment activities. Interactive workshops and presentations catered to a wide range of interests, aiming to nurture existing talents and spark the discovery of new ones.
A key objective of the program was to ease any anxieties or apprehensions children might have about returning to school after the summer break. The carnival provided a space for them to make new friends and establish connections, fostering a smoother transition into the new school year.
From a creative standpoint, the carnival boasted a variety of exciting activities. Young participants enjoyed face painting, free drawing sessions, and unleashed their artistic flair on eggs, plastic dishes, and even their nails. Skilled artists offered henna designs and hair styling services, adding a touch of personal flair to their back-to-school look.
The carnival wasn't all about artistic expression; it also incorporated elements of physical activity. Energetic games and challenges instilled a sense of healthy competition among the young participants, promoting teamwork and sportsmanship.
Beyond the fun and games, the carnival addressed a crucial concern – child safety in the digital age. The event featured a workshop titled "Cyber Safety, " organized by the Child Safety campaign, an initiative of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs in Sharjah. This informative session aimed to raise awareness among children and their mothers about safe internet practices and social media usage. Experts offered valuable tips and guidance on navigating the online world responsibly, equipping them to deal with potential risks and dangers.
The Back to School Carnival served as a successful initiative by the Sharjah Ladies Club. By providing a stimulating and entertaining environment, the club aimed to equip young students with the tools and enthusiasm they needed to embark on a successful new academic year. The blend of educational workshops, recreational activities, and a focus on online safety ensured a well-rounded experience for both children and their mothers.
