KHASAB: The Department of Culture, Sports and Youth in Musandam is driving high-impact engagement this summer with a vibrant lineup of sports and cultural activities at the Khasab Sports Complex.
Open to all age groups and genders, the programme aims to channel youth energy into skill-building, creativity and community participation.
Under its ‘Sports and Cultural Days’ initiative, the department has launched a series of integrated workshops and training schools that span disciplines from football, volleyball, handball, swimming and first aid to public speaking, photography, 3D printing and traditional crafts like palm weaving (Saff). Certified coaches and cultural experts lead sessions across the complex’s facilities, creating a space where physical fitness meets intellectual growth. Among the most attended sessions are mobile photography, Arabic calligraphy (Hurufiyat) and public speaking, drawing both citizens and residents in large numbers.
“Sports are more than games — they instil discipline and teamwork. Culture sparks imagination and growth”, said Abdulrahman bin Ahmed al Mulla, Director of the Department.
“Through these programmes, we’re investing in the holistic development of youth during their summer break”, he added.
Significantly, the initiative ensures equal participation for women, with separate facilities and female trainers, reinforcing inclusivity in both physical and creative pursuits.
As attendance continues to rise, the Khasab Sports Complex stands out as a model for purposeful summer engagement, aligning with national goals to foster youth potential and community well-being. — ONA
