A podcast production workshop was also included, allowing children to explore the world of audio and digital media in a simple and interactive manner.

Children also participated in basic drawing workshops that helped hone their artistic and visual skills, along with craft activities that stimulated their creativity and promoted teamwork and free thinking.

The week also featured an inspiring workshop titled "The Little Influencer," where children learned about the principles of content creation and positive influence through social media, reflecting Shams' commitment to connecting children to their digital lives and guiding them toward the conscious and positive use of technology.

The first week's activities were not limited to educational aspects only; they also included fun recreational activities such as mind games, sports, and recycling, which helped instil values of sustainability and environmental awareness among participants.
