"Towards the Summits" raises national flag on Mount Elbrus

A triumph of teamwork and resilience

The Sharjah Capability Development instilled in its young people values such as teamwork, leadership, and endurance, all of which are evident in this remarkable achievement. Participants showed amazing unity when they had to deal with the harsh conditions of cold, snow, and high altitudes.

More than just a sports challenge

Climbing to 5,642 metres was not only a physical challenge but also a test of discipline, resilience, and teamwork. These kinds of trips shape not only mountain climbers but also leaders who can handle pressure, talk to others when things are tough, and find strength in challenges. The real peak is the skills that participants learn and keep for life, work, and leadership.

Message of pride and investment in youth

Khalid Ibrahim Al Nakhi, the Director of Sharjah Capability Development, said, "The Emiratis have done great things through the Towards the Summits programme. They have shown that the young people of Sharjah are strong-willed and able to lead and work together. Their success in getting to Mount Elbrus sends a clear message: investing in young people's potential is an investment in the future of the UAE.

A journey of training and empowerment

This milestone marks the end of a journey that started with training in Kyrgyzstan, moved on to advanced programs in Ski Dubai, and ended with this wonderful challenge that showed how strong and flexible they are. The programme highlights Sharjah's role as a leader in giving young people the tools they need to succeed and inspiring life experiences that help them deal with problems and make success stories that raise the UAE's profile around the world.
