"Al-Qa’id Al-Sagheer" (Little Leader) Initiative

An educational, cultural, and recreational initiative focused on the development of educational and mental skills among children and adolescents in Jabal Amman, that also aimed to help alleviate the psychological impact of school closures during the pandemic and manage children’s free time. The initiative organized a drawing competition targeting 50 local children between 7 and 11 years old. The team gave the children gift boxes with story collections and drawing tools and invited them to attend reading sessions via Zoom. The initiative also trained 100 adolescents ages 12 to 16 years old to contribute to enhancing their life and on leadership skills via Zoom, which were delivered by relevant experts in coordination with community members. The team consulted and involved a group of educational experts and the story collection author in all activities. The initiative positively impacted the children and the parents, who were involved in all the stages of the work.
