DODA, Aug 22: Aligning to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 on promoting quality education, two dedicated ambassadors from the UAE have embarked on a mission to promote ‘EducateNow’, a youth empowerment campaign across the town, here today.
Sameera Fernandes, Global Educationist and Nirbhaya Award winner, Director Corporate Affairs, Century Financial and Rashika Rathore, Youth Energiser and a student of Grade 11 from Dubai are on a mission to create awareness on skill development and developing career aspirations which is the need of the hour.
The students of Higher Secondary Schools including Doda, Ghat, Jodhpur, Jatheli, Shadiwal, Parshula and Mohala were part of the campaign.
Sameera Fernandes said, “The EducateNow initiative focuses on three core areas including career enhancement opportunities, global industry institute linkages, facilitating differential internships and placements. “We are here to bridge small towns to global education hubs to ensure that quality education prevails and society is elevated on all fronts,” Feranades said.
Rashika Rathore said, “I am here to share the opportunities that I have with the people of my city. The Doda community is close to my heart and I believe that by spreading goodwill towards the cause of education, we can start by empowering our own community as the first step.”
The initiative also aims to connect universities across the UAE and the GCC region to the student community across Doda. Right from offering mentoring, online webinars, access to e-libraries, guest faculty, collaborations on research, exchange and twinning programmes and scholarships are some of the offerings planned as part of the EducateNow initiative.
This programme is under the umbrella of Century Financial UAE and Divine India, they said.
