Doha: Cultural Village Foundation, Katara will be launching a variety of summer workshops targeting children of different age groups and addressing various artistic fields.

The workshop targets children from 8 to 13 years old, and will be held for four days, from June 20 to 23, in Hall No. 1 of Building 18.
