On the morning of Thursday, October 5, 2023, the launch of the "Free to Be Me" project was held with the aim of promoting body confidence and self-respect. This project is part of the scouting and guidance programs for the academic year 2023-2024. It was organized by the Girl Guides Department of the Qatar Scouts and Girl Guides Association in collaboration with HH Training Company. The project launch included the organization of training courses at Maria Al-Qibtiya Girls' Preparatory School and was attended by approximately 65 leaders.
The event began with the recitation of the Quran, the national anthem, and the salute to the flag. Welcoming speeches were delivered by the school principal, Ms. Najla Al-Hajri, and Ms. Noura Al-Faisal from the Girl Guides Department. A presentation about the program was given by the Head of the Guided Programs Department, Ms. Sanaa Boukshisha.
One of the program facilitators, Ms. Shaima Fattah, provided a brief presentation on the importance of the program and its impact on girls. The program also included a training workshop led by Ms. Hessa Hamed Al-Marwani, the Executive Director of the collaborating entity. The workshop aimed to achieve the program's overall goal and was followed by practical exercises that were well-received by the participants. This positive response is a promising sign for the application and activation of the program in the schools affiliated with the Scouting and Guiding Movement.
