The focus has been on innovation and diversification in offering more than 100 specialised programmes, falling within eleven themes that address the interests of young people and open up new horizons for expression and innovation. It also instils a set of institutional values in participants, most notably inclusion, through surveying their opinions to ensure the provision of programmes that align with their aspirations, while ensuring positive impact and sustainability. 550 Participants on the First Day On its first day, the lab saw a remarkable turnout of more than 550 participants from Sharjah Youth, the Sharjah Police Sciences Academy (SPSA), the Al Hamriyah Cultural and Sports Club, and the Sharjah Social Empowerment Foundation. This reflects Sharjah's commitment to strengthening community partnerships and constructive interaction with local community bodies, institutions, and departments in the Emirate of Sharjah, serving the interests of future generations. This supports the vision of the Rubu' Qarn Foundation for Creating Future Leaders and Innovators, "A community partner in building and empowering informed and influential generations." 100 Specialised Programmes Across Eleven Themes The Skills Lab's programmes vary, covering artistic, technical, professional, craft, media, and musical creativity.
