Al-Mabarrah Al-Khalifia Foundation (MKF) announced the continuation of activities within the Ithraa programme 2021 in its second edition, which will extend over a period of one month. The programme will run through two phases, each lasting 15 days, the first phase will be held over the spring break, as the second will be during the summer holiday.
The second season will witness 10 coaches hosting more than 30 participants in daily workshops which will be held virtually via ‘Zoom’, in compliance with the guidelines set by the Ministry of Health and The National Taskforce for Combating the Coronavirus.
This programme was created by studying the participants’ needs and analyzing the results of their self-assessments, to ensure that they would be able to develop their skills by directing their energies towards elevating the Kingdom.
The Ithraa programme is committed to refining and highlighting the participants’’ talents, while focusing on developing a number of important skills such as: employment skills, technical, social and life skills, in addition to managing projects, and learning about university life, future careers and many more.
The programme also aims to enhance personal and life skills among the youth, whilst instilling a culture of giving back to society and their country, and contribute to achieving their goals through innovative physical and mental activities that instill the program’s educational values in cooperation with professional coaches with extensive experience within their respected fields.
The Foundation’s programs seek to create proactive and educated Bahraini youth that are able to add value in shaping a positive difference in society. This comes in line with Tamkeen’s vision of enabling Bahrainis to thrive and contribute towards strengthening the national economy.
The Ithraa programme is a training program that extends for one year and targets two categories of participants, namely, young people between the ages of 13 to 17 years, where a unique learning experience is provided through the use of physical and mental activities which go in line with the programme’s value. The other category includes the coaches of the program, which the Foundation is keen on preparing them through the use of advanced courses and training on how to guide the young participants.
The Rayaat Scholarship programme was launched in 2011 as a comprehensive approach to promote educational achievement and personal development. The program provides scholarships for students to join an accredited university in the Kingdom of Bahrain, as well as offering many benefits including financial incentives, workshops and opportunities, while promoting a culture of ‘community responsibility” by instilling volunteerism and community service within a supportive environment.
