Around 3,800 participants engaged in nearly 100 specialised programmes focused on developing children's creative and leadership abilities in their areas of interest.
In sports, children participated in activities such as climbing (a first-time experience), advanced sports workshops, and competitions in football, judo, taekwondo, athletics, and swimming. Artistic workshops, including visual arts led by Najat Makki, Al art blending heritage and technology, 3D art, and palm-themed sessions, saw strong attendance.
In literature and languages, children took part in workshops like Fantasy World for creative writing and Journey with the Quran in collaboration with the Sharjah Foundation for the Holy Quran and Sunnah, learning recitation, tajweed, and meanings.
Science and technology programmes, such as Kumon and Emirati Coder, promoted analytical thinking and tech skills. Life skills were cultivated through practical workshops in sewing, carpentry, recycling, and expressive communication, including sessions for Sharjah Children's Shura members. Performing arts, music, seasonal camps, and joint initiatives with Rubu' Qarn entities were also included.
