Educational Advisers, Ameera Al Ansari, Dana El Ghazal and Sara Al Fardan from Graduaid Academic Consultancy recently delivered a speech during the 6th Qatar Leadership Conference (QLC) at Qatar National Convention Center.
Qatar Academy and The Hague International Online Model United National Foundation established THIMUN Qatar in 2011, with a view to developing student leadership in schools, specifically in MUN and media studies. The QLC has a dual goal encompassing two elements. Firstly, providing high school students with quality workshops designed to improve their leadership skills. Secondly, offering an annual meeting venue for globally connected young minds, to help them exchange ideas and develop partnerships.
Commenting on the occasion, Sara Fahad Al Fardan, one of the co-founders and an academic advisor at Graduaid said: “As part of our support towards QLC’s efforts to develop Model UN programs and events for students in the region, we were glad to present ‘Live, Love, Leave a Legacy’ at this year’s conference. The seminars engaged a young audience through constructive discussions, debates, actions and potential solutions to the various global issues. The session was a stimulating one that provoked students to question, think and find solutions to life’s daily challenges.”
The Graduaid team shared their knowledge about the common distractions faced in schools and workplaces that could make one forget their long-term goals. The session threw light on the art of balancing between the different components in life, while making sure of creating one’s own legacy.
“We spoke about our own leadership experiences and the challenges we faced. We told the students how we managed to achieve our personal goals by challenging ourselves”, added Ameera Al Ansari, one of the co-founders and an academic advisor at Graduaid.
The conference provided workshops for students and teachers to share ideas based on various perspectives and experiences.
With almost 1700 annual participants from Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, the QLC is regarded as the ideal pre-university education platform for students. The conference featured MUN, debate and educational leaders collaborating with participants in skills-building, professional learning, organization, teaching, community service, media and journalism.
