As part of its programme to develop volunteer work and support young people to promote social entrepreneurship, the TAMM Volunteer Network is organising a series of workshops to bolster volunteer work among the youth.
The first workshop will take place on September 25, 2019 and will be entitled “Introduction to Handling Dignitaries by Volunteers”. The second workshop on “Organizing Volunteering Events” will be held on September 29-30, 2019.
Nayef Al Shahrani, President of TAMM Volunteer Network, said that the network aspires to contribute to the development of youth volunteers so they may play a role in the service of the community.
From this respect, several workshops will be organized during the month of September for young people between the ages of 15 to 25. The workshops will focus on handling dignitaries, as well as managing and organizing events and volunteering activities.
He further indicated that the aim of these workshops is to promote volunteer work by preparing and training young people to provide technical support and promote capacity building in order to cater to the needs of volunteer work and activities. Al Shahrani added that the workshop on “Dealing with Dignitaries” will introduce volunteers to the basics of protocol, the art of dealing with dignitaries, the qualities of volunteer ushers and stewards, effective communication skills, body language as well as practical exercises during the workshop. The second workshop on managing and organizing volunteering events and activities aims at introducing volunteers to the art and skills of organizing volunteering events and activities; planning, producing and executing events through specialized committees; developing communication and marketing skills; and practical training for planning, monitoring and assessing events.
TAMM is co-founded by the Social Development Centre ‘NAMA’, Silatech, Education Above All through Reach out to Asia (ROTA), and the strategic partner the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MOTC).
It was established to promote a shared vision and joint action towards building an integrated volunteering system and a database of volunteers connecting entrepreneurs with establishments and volunteering opportunities across the State of Qatar.
It also offers technical support and builds youth capacities while catering to their needs and developing their skills.
