DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, December 5, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Takween Al Ghurair is an after-school, activity-based program designed to empower Emirati youth aged 13-18 with engaging academic support, skill development, and success advising, all infused with elements of UAE national identity. After having served over 1000 Emirati youth, the program is expanding to include critical life skills to help prepare Emirati students for a successful future, equipping them with essential tools for personal and professional growth in a rapidly changing world. The Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation (AGF) has partnered with the well-being and mental health education provider Peekapak to bring in leading experts to work with middle and high school students.

Under the “Building Resilience and Well-Being" course, AGF and Peekapak’s structured activities offer hands-on experiences and discussions focused on managing stress, understanding personal strengths, teamwork, and making informed choices. These skills are essential for students’ personal development and align with AGF’s mission to bridge educational and personal growth opportunities for Emirati youth.

“Empowering our youth with the skills to face life’s challenges is key to building a generation ready to contribute meaningfully to society,” said Dr. Sonia Ben Jaafar, CEO of AGF. “Through Takween Al Ghurair, we go beyond the academic, and we support Emirati students with the tools to also succeed socially, creating a foundation for a resilient, forward-looking generation with a strong sense of self and national identity.”
