The Embassy of Switzerland, in collaboration with DeapQatar Conservation, invites the Swiss community and companies to celebrate nature by participating in a beach cleanup in Northwest Qatar by the heritage village Al Arish on Friday, 4 October 2024 at 4:15pm. 

This is a family friendly activity. Volunteers need to have their own transportation. 

If you are interested please register by contacting @deapqatar on FB or Instagram or the Swiss Embassy via doha.events@admin.ch.

We look forward to your participation and thank you in advance for your commitment.

Our secondary school students will take part in assemblies and four 20-minute enrichment activities throughout the week. One highlight is a sustainability-themed baking competition, where students will be challenged to bake a cake with sustainability in mind.

They will also participate in a recycled tower competition, where form houses will compete to see who can build the tallest tower using only recycled materials.

Our primary school children will be participating in a "Make Something from Nothing" competition, where they’ll use their creativity and imagination to transform 'rubbish' into unique creations of their choice.

In addition, they will attend assemblies led by our secondary Eco School ambassadors, who will introduce them to the concept of sustainability and explore how they can take action to live more sustainably. Throughout the week, the children will also engage in fun, hands-on activities in their classrooms, reinforcing these important lessons.

We invite you to participate in our School Uniform Swap Shop as part of Qatar Sustainability Week!

Any school uniform in good, wearable condition can be donated to the swap shop. Students are encouraged to bring in unwanted NAISAK uniforms, helping to reduce waste and promote sustainability. Parents will have the opportunity to take gently used uniforms for their children, offering an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for school attire.
