The Sharjah Archaeology Museum and Sharjah Science Museum hosted about 250 students from the 24th annual Police Friends Course, organised by the Sharjah Police General Directorate. The students were accompanied by Lt Ahmed Al Mubarak Al Junaibi, Director of Protocols and Hospitality in the Media and Public Relations Department at Sharjah Police.
This visit by students to Sharjah’s Archaeology and Science Museums is in line with the Sharjah Museums Department’s (SMD) strategy of maintaining active partnerships and cooperation with individuals and corporations both locally and internationally, with the aim of enhancing UAE nationals’ awareness of their national and historical cultures.
Speaking on the occasion, Lt Al Junaibi said, "These field visits to the Sharjah Archaeology Museum and Sharjah Science Museum aim to familiarise participants with the history through the artifacts and antiques on display at the museums. Such initiatives are part of our efforts to enhance positive communication and interaction between the Sharjah Police and the Sharjah Museums Department, which provides quality educational programmes that help spread awareness about the history of the UAE, in general, and the emirate of Sharjah, in particular".
Ms Manal Ataya, SMD Director General, said, "We have organised a wide variety of summer activities this year, in cooperation with a number of government and nongovernment organisations on the local and federal levels. This summer we focused on organising activities that would keep children positively engaged during their summer holiday. To this end, SMD developed a programme that helps increase knowledge, and to highlight human culture, heritage and creativity in different fields".
