Sharjah Girl Guides go on a journey of the worlds of astronomy and wildlife

The training program launched by Sharjah Girl Guides (SGG) concluded recently. Targeting brownies (girls aged 7-11 years), the program aimed to develop life skills and hone their personalities through an array of interactive and edutainment workshops, as well as scientific trips that ignited their imagination and love for learning.

 

The program included many training workshops such as ‘Health and Tourism,’ which comprised lessons on good health habits during the winter tourist season for participants, in addition to key disease prevention methods in winter.

 

It also gave the participants the opportunity to embark on a scientific journey. Themed ‘Discover Wasit Nature Reserve,’ the trip introduced the brownies to the ecosystem of Al Ramtha, near Wasit Suburb in Sharjah. The girls explored the bird and animal species living in the reserve.

 

The brownies also took part in a workshop titled ‘Space Sciences’, which offered an introduction to astronomy and the solar system, and an educational trip to Mleiha Archaeological Centre, where the girls engaged in stargazing and learned about constellations and celestial objects.

 

Shaikha Al Shamsi, Manager of SGG, said: “We organized these training programs to our girls to aware them about the environment life and seek for more knowledge. The program is aimed at reinforcing the participants’ knowledge of health and habits during the winter season. We also introduced them to a collection of natural phenomena during the two trips to Wasit Nature Reserve and Mleiha Archaeological Centre.”
