Doha: Qatar Children’s Museum (QCM) is celebrating the holy month of Ramadan with online activities centred on the themes of family engagement, heritage and culture to promote #RamdanJoyToAll.
Throughout the holy month, the museum is working closely with members of the community to highlight how Qatari culture and family bonds feature an intergenerational perspective using oral history videos, challenges (fawazeer), and other various activities.
In celebration of Garangao, the annual children’s festival held on the 15th night of Ramadan, QCM hosted a workshop on social media with cultural expert, Najla Al Hemaidi, on April 24, who demonstrated how to make various items such as medallions, bookmarks, baskets, and more using palm tree weaving.
