Doha, Qatar: Qatar Railways Company (Qatar Rail) held an event for the children of its employees who participated in the Back-to-School Competition, launched by the company to coincide with the start of the new academic year, as part of its initiatives aimed at enhancing community awareness and promoting a culture of safe and responsible use of public transport among younger generations.
The competition targeted the children of Qatar Rail employees up to the age of 15 and aimed to enhance children’s awareness of Doha Metro and encourage them to learn about its services and its importance as a safe and sustainable mode of transport. This was achieved through a set of simplified awareness questions suitable for their age groups, alongside giving them the opportunity to submit creative drawings expressing their views of Metro services. The competition had a wide participation and notable engagement from employees’ children, who submitted artworks and drawings that reflected their understanding of the importance of Doha Metro and its role in providing a safe and sustainable travel experience, while highlighting their awareness of the responsible use of public transport.
Qatar Rail intends to display a selection of the distinguished drawings at several Metro stations at a later stage, in celebration of the participants’ creativity and to encourage them to continue engaging with awareness and community initiatives.
The competition reflects the company’s keenness to engage its employees and their families in meaningful initiatives that combine awareness and creativity.
