Doha: As part of its continued efforts to strengthen community engagement and foster environmental awareness among the younger generation, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC) has launched a series of recycling workshops within the summer camp organised by the Qatar Chess Association (QCA).

The initiative, spearheaded by the Environmental Awareness Section of the Ministry’s Public Relations and Communication Department, aims to instill core environmental values in children.

Through the workshops, participants are introduced to the importance of recycling various types of waste—paper, cardboard, plastic, and electronic materials—and are encouraged to creatively repurpose them into usable, innovative models.

Designed as fun and interactive educational activities, the workshops offer children a space to explore their creativity and imagination while linking environmental responsibility to everyday behaviour.

The goal is not only to raise awareness but also to inspire a spirit of innovation and sustainability in a playful and engaging manner.
