The Child Safety Department (CSD) in Sharjah has marked the conclusion of its two-month virtual ‘Child Safety Summer Camp’ with the participation of more than 5,400 children, youth, parents, and school staff.

Livestreamed on Zoom video conferencing and CSD’s Instagram account (@childsafetyuae), CSD’s virtual summer camp was held in collaboration with various government entities including Sharjah Police, Sharjah Prevention and Safety Authority, Sharjah Child-Friendly Office, and a number of childcare experts and doctors.

Held over July and August, the camp had hosted a total of 15 recreational and informative sessions for children and youth to gainfully engage them throughout the summer break, and to boost their emotional and physical wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The educational and fun sessions were designed to prepare children and youth for the new academic year and cope with the challenges they may have to face as they return to the classroom, whether physically or via hybrid learning options.
