Dubai: The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has partnered with several
organisations to launch a wide array of summer camps and educational programmes across Dubai,
aimed at enriching the summer experience for students of all ages and abilities.

These initiatives are part of KHDA’s broader commitment to fostering a culture of lifelong learning,
supporting the goals of the #DubaiDestinations summer campaign by Brand Dubai, and
contributing to the objectives of the Education 33 (E33) Strategy. By providing accessible, engaging,
and culturally grounded activities, KHDA is helping shape the next generation of learners while
strengthening community ties.

“The summer initiatives represent KHDA’s continued commitment to fostering lifelong learning and
supporting the development of our community,” said Reem Waleed, Acting Head of Learner Skills
Development and Wellbeing at KHDA.

“Whether through entrepreneurship programmes, inclusive activities, or internships, we are proud
to work with our partners to provide opportunities that empower learners at every stage of their
journey. These programmes also align with our E33 strategy, which seeks to inspire a growth
mindset and create pathways for learners to thrive, both in school and in life. They also
complement the goals of the #DubaiDestinations summer campaign by enriching the summer
break with a diverse range of engaging and meaningful activities,” she added.
