Rabat: Dadu, Children's Museum of Qatar, has launched the "Museum in Residence: Light Atelier" programme at Al Faqih Al Ghazi School in Rabat, bringing an immersive and innovative educational experience to young learners in Morocco as a legacy of the Qatar-Morocco 2024 Year of Culture.

The Light Atelier programme transforms traditional classrooms into dynamic, sensory-rich environments where children aged 3 to 7 can explore light as a scientific, artistic, and cultural element. Through hands-on activities with reflective surfaces, translucent materials, and shadow play, children are encouraged to learn through alternative methods, combining play with personal development and critical thinking skills.

During his visit to Morocco, HE President of Dadu Dr. Mohamed Al Sada said: "This fruitful cultural collaboration reflects the enduring bonds of friendship between Qatar and Morocco. It embodies our shared commitment to nurturing creativity, curiosity, and cultural exchange among our youngest generations."

As part of the initiative, Dadu provided training and mentorship to educators from the Academy of the Riad-Sale-Kenitra region, ensuring that Moroccan teachers are equipped to sustain and expand the approach. The programme directly supports Morocco’s 2022-2026 education roadmap, which aims to double extracurricular activities in schools and engage 37,000 students over the next three years.

Officials from the Ministry of Education of the Kingdom of Morocco praised the initiative's contribution to the national education strategy, citing the value of interactive, play-based learning in enhancing student engagement with the world.
