The meeting is part of a series of preparatory meetings held by Mleiha Cultural and Sports Club in anticipation of the summer programme. It underscores the club's commitment to offering meaningful community programmes that contribute to developing participants' skills and solidify its role as a leading sports and cultural institution serving the community.

The meeting was attended by Mohammed Awad Al Ketbi, Board Member of Mleiha Club and Chairman of the Summer Programme Organising Committee; Abdulrahman Muhair Al Ketbi, Board Member and Chairman of the Media and Corporate Communications Committee; Mansour Rashid Al Ketbi, Executive Director of the Club; and members of the program's working team and organising committees.

Four specialised weeks

The meeting reviewed the main themes of this year's summer programme, which is divided into four specialised weeks: "Family," "Artificial Intelligence," "Sharjah," and "Sports." This reflects the club's commitment to providing diverse content that combines cultural, educational, sporting, and technological aspects, keeping pace with community trends and the interests of the younger generation.

The committee also discussed the schedule of events, workshops, and proposed programmes for each week, as well as the implementation mechanisms and coordination between the various committees. Organisational and administrative aspects and work plans were also reviewed to ensure the highest levels of quality and excellence in programme execution.

Attractive and safe environment

Attendees emphasised the importance of providing an attractive and safe environment for participants, one that contributes to the positive use of their free time, develops their skills and abilities, and strengthens their sense of belonging, responsibility, and teamwork.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Mohammed Awad Al Ketbi,  member of the Mleiha Club's Board of Directors and Chairman of the Summer Programme Organising Committee, affirmed that the club is continuing its intensive preparations to launch a distinguished edition of the summer program. He noted that work is proceeding according to a comprehensive plan that focuses on diverse content and high-quality implementation to maximise the benefits for participants.

Investing in children

Al-Ketbi said: “Through the 2026 summer programme, we aim to provide innovative programmes that combine knowledge, entertainment, and skills development, contributing to the positive investment of children and youth during the summer vacation. This year, we were keen to select diverse themes that meet the interests of the participants and keep pace with modern developments, especially in the fields of artificial intelligence, national identity, sports, and family, thus enhancing the club’s role in serving the community and creating a conscious and creative generation.”
