Adventurous journey for students of ‘Ithra’ programme
Manama : Six students from Al Mabarrah Al Khalifia Foundation’s ‘Ithra’ training programme participated in the “Adventurous Journeys” organised by El Hassan Youth Award in Jordan. The six-day programme was held from 14 to 19 August 2017.
During the trip, students participated in a series of challenges that required physical effort, as well as enhanced communication skills.
The programme included visits to an automobile museum and other archaeological sites such as the Roman Theater, Amman Citadel, the ancient city of Petra, Ajloun Castle and the Dead Sea.
Students also completed a demanding journey through mountain climbing and touring the Wadi Rum desert.
Providing this unique opportunity to ‘Ithra’ students comes as part of MKF’s strategy to encourage the spirit of adventure and discovery, in addition to the development of their sense of independence and confidence.
El Hassan Youth Award scheme was founded in 1984. Initially a pilot scheme in the Amman Baccalaureate School, the El Hassan Youth Award was inspired by the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, which was established in the United Kingdom in 1956.
