In a bid to foster the development of life, social, creative, and entrepreneurial skills among children and youth, the Family Development Foundation (FDF) has kicked off a variety of summer activities. Running from July 1 to August 1, 2024, these activities are hosted at all centers of the 'Al Dar Children and Youth Club' across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and the Al Dhafra Region.

These include workshops on enhancing sibling relationships, fostering stronger parent-child bonds, and developing essential digital skills.”
Al Kalbani highlighted the numerous interactive workshops available, such as ‘Different but Unique,’ ‘Bridge of Communication,’ ‘Digital Addiction,’ ‘Digital Generation Heroes,’ ‘How to Understand Each Other,’ ‘Effective Listening Adventure,’ ‘My Personal Boundaries,’ ‘Together Despite Our Differences,’ ‘Art of Communication,’ ‘Emotion Expert,’ and major activities focused on sustainability.
Through its services, programs, and activities, the FDF strives to instill sound values in society and develop personal and social skills, creating a well-informed and educated community capable of facing various social challenges. These programs are designed to meet the psychological and social needs of individuals, contribute to positive impacts, and enhance community cohesion and stability.
The Family Development Foundation's summer activities are a testament to its ongoing commitment to enriching the lives of children and youth, preparing them for a brighter future, and strengthening the fabric of the community
