SHARJAH, 24th August, 2016 (WAM) -- 'Lughati', the educational initiative dedicated to supporting learning Arabic the smart way, has concluded its first summer camp for children and students.
Launched on July 14th and spread over several sites in Sharjah as well as one in Dubai, the camp's programme of educational and leisure activities was designed to instill a love of the Arabic language in its participants.
A main component of Lughati's summer camp was a series of workshops that used the 'Horouf' application. The smart device tool aims to enrich children's vocabulary, encourage them to express themselves eloquently and motivate them to use Arabic in their every-day discourse.
Badria Al Ali, Manager of the Lughati initiative, said, "We are delighted with the success of Lughati's first ever summer camp, which hosted a number of children at its sites. The young participants were able to make the most of a series of educational and recreational programmes during the course of the camp and we ensured that all the children taking part had fun as well as a good learning experience. We hope that this will help them to start their new school year with enthusiasm, determination and confidence."
The Sharjah-based Lughati smart Arabic learning initiative was launched in 2013 by H.H. Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.
In January 2016, His Highness approved the new identity for Lughati, which was conceived in response to developments in learning methods. The initiative aims to pave the way for the creation of a knowledge-based society and contribute to improving the outcomes of education.
