Qatar Chamber encourages environmental responsibility among young generation

The Qatar Chamber recently hosted an awareness workshop titled “I Am Sustainable” for students of Al Bayan Primary School for Girls in Doha. The objective was to promote sustainability awareness and encourage environmentally responsible behaviors at school and home. Organized by Fatima Al Kuwari, Head of the Training and Development Department at the Chamber, the session introduced the core principles of sustainability.

The workshop highlighted the importance of meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet theirs. It specifically focused on water and electricity conservation, waste reduction, recycling, and reuse, all aligned with the Environmental Development pillar of Qatar National Vision 2030.

Interactive activities and group discussions were integral parts of the programme. These allowed students to identify practical methods for conserving resources and propose solutions to reduce waste within their school environment. Fatima Al Kuwari emphasized that the workshop reflected the Chamber’s commitment to fostering sustainability awareness, particularly among younger generations, and encouraging positive environmental habits from an early age.

Khulood Fallah AlRumaihi, Principal of Al Bayan First Primary School for Girls, underscored the school’s dedication to cultivating a culture of sustainability among students through awareness activities. She stressed the significance of conserving water and electricity, reducing waste, and promoting recycling, highlighting that collaboration between schools and families is essential to raise an environmentally responsible generation.

Amal Al Muaibid, the Science Coordinator at Al Bayan Primary School for Girls, emphasized the vital role of science in understanding natural systems, including clean energy, biodiversity, resource management, and waste recycling. The workshop is part of Qatar Chamber’s ongoing community initiatives aimed at promoting environmental awareness, responsible practices, and sustainable development across Qatar.
