Doha: Students from Qatar Foundation’s (QF) Pre-University Education participated in the second edition of the Qatar Foundation’s Earthna Summit under the theme, “Building Our Legacy: Sustainability, Innovation, and Traditional Knowledge,” where they showcased innovative projects focused on sustainability and recycling.

The Earthna Village at Barahat Msheireb hosted a community exhibition where students from Tariq Bin Ziad School, Qatar Academy Sidra, and Qatar Academy Al Wakra presented creative projects using recycled materials to promote environmental awareness. Academyati also participated with its Education City Honey initiative, highlighting the vital role of bees in the ecosystem.

Saleh Khalid Al-Mansouri, an eight-year-old student at Academyati, part of QF’s PUE, expressed his excitement about participating in Earthna Village, saying, “I’m happy to be part of this event, explaining to children and visitors the importance of honey and how it is extracted.

At school, we visited bee farms, wore beekeeper suits, and learned how to extract honey. I was scared at first, but then I really enjoyed it. I’m happy that my school taught me this way, and today I’m proud to share what I learned about bees with others.” 

Yousef Al-Khater, a nine-year-old student at Tariq Bin Ziad School, part of QF’s PUE, developed his passion for sustainability by creating simple solutions, including designing a plastic container to encourage people to adopt sustainable methods for watering plants, a step that reflects his awareness of the importance of reusing resources and reducing waste.
