DOHA: The Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has successfully concluded its involvement in the inaugural Spring Centers initiative, organized by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education. The initiative, which ran from December 22, 2024, to January 1, 2025, is the first of its kind and aligns with QRCS’s mission to support Qatar National Vision 2030 by fostering a creative and aware generation dedicated to humanitarian causes and human rights at both local and Arab levels.
According to Qatar News Agency, QRCS contributed significantly to the initiative by conducting workshops through its expert first aid team. These workshops were designed to equip students with essential life-saving skills, focusing on how to manage common injuries encountered in school and community settings. The workshops aimed to empower students with the knowledge and skills necessary to respond effectively in emergencies, thereby enhancing their readiness to act in critical situations.
QRCS expressed its satisfaction with the collaborative efforts with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education. The organization highlighted that its role extended beyond delivering training workshops; it also involved 42 male and female volunteers in the supervision and organization of the Spring Centers. This involvement underscores QRCS’s ongoing commitment to community support and capacity building across various fields. The initiative is seen as a step towards strengthening the role of youth in supporting humanitarian issues and safeguarding human rights, consistent with the broader goals of Qatar’s national development framework.
