About us
Qatar Writes is a volunteer led student authorship program for school students ages 7 to 11 years of age. The primary focus is to strengthen literacy skills in Qatar’s youth, through an engaging curriculum, friendly program, encompassing cognitive psychology, Leadership, and Project Management Skills.We believe every child deserves the opportunity to tell their story, share their talents and be celebrated for their accomplishments.
How It Works
The Qatar Writes is an eight-week program where students engage in a positive, constructive, creative program much similar to an Extracurricular Activity. Students form groups of 5-7 teammates.
Next they work through the creative process that will help them learn to Identify, Visualize, Initiate & Collaborate, Evaluate & Celebrate until they produce a piece of writing they are proud of.
Participating schools may enrol as many teams as it wishes. It is recommended at least one team per eligible grade enrols in Qatar Writes Program to ensure all aspiring young authors are given the opportunity to benefit from the skills acquired from the program.
