A new Abu Dhabi summer camp teaching business and entrepreneurial skills has been launched

The camp will run for the month of August.

Inspire the little ones this August to use their creative skills with the MAKTABA Summer Camp.

Organised by the library management section of the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), the summer camp aims to enhance the creative and entrepreneurial skills of children and teenagers through fun, knowledge-building sessions.

Running until 28 August, kids can get involved in interactive activities and workshops including Creating Business From Drawings, Earn From Your Talent and cooking workshops that will be led by young Emirati chef Aysha AlObeidli and more.

The ‘Action’ workshop will cover communication via social media, so that children are able to create safe and useful content in a social media-dominated digital age.

For those with a sweet tooth, ‘How to Make Tiramisu at Home?’ will talk about the experience of starting a home-based candy making business and selling products via Instagram.

There will also be management and leadership skills, moderated by specialists in both fields, will also be organised to uplift kids’ entrepreneurship skills, such as ‘How to Manage Your Finances’, ‘Leader of the 50 Skills!’, and ‘Investment Strategies!’.

As part of the camp, MAKTABA is holding the Summer Reading Challenge 2022 where children between the ages of six and 16 are invited to participate in the challenge and read 30 books by 28 August for a chance to win various prizes. Parents will be able to join the challenge by reading six books over a six-week period.
