Running until June 19, the programme hosts more than 80 students from different wilayats in Dakhliyah. It aims to foster creativity and strengthen essential skills through learning tracks that combine theory with practical experience in literature, science, technology and the arts.

He noted that activities have been tailored to match the interests and abilities of participants, providing opportunities for innovation and exploration.
The programme includes four focus areas. In literature, students practise short story writing and study cultural symbols using museum collections. Scientific activities involve exploratory projects, field visits to specialised centres and a workshop on nanotechnology. In the arts, the workshop 'From Raw Material to Art' guides students in creating pieces from locally sourced materials. The technology track trains students in digital innovation and helps them turn ideas into prototypes using 3D printing.
Sessions are being held at several key sites in the governorate, including the Oman Across Ages Museum, the Science and Technology Centre and the Educational Training Centre in Dakhliyah.
