Innovation pushing forward: Daam and QSC kick off future-shaping initiative
In collaboration with the Qatar Scientific Club, Doha’s Behavioral Healthcare Center (Daam) has launched an innovative training initiative aimed at youth aged 14 to 19. Titled "Shaping the Future of Innovation," the program focuses on empowering young participants to utilise artificial intelligence (AI) tools to develop digital awareness campaigns that address behavioural health issues relevant to them and their community.
This unique program offers an interactive platform, combining technical knowledge in AI and digital design with behavioural awareness. Through a series of workshops led by specialists in AI and digital design, participants learn how to create impactful digital presentations and interactive content using modern technologies. The goal is to enable youth-led innovation in promoting behavioural health, fostering creativity, and supporting positive societal change through digital transformation.
Jawaher Abu Alfain, Director of Community Awareness at Daam, emphasised that the initiative reflects Daam’s commitment to giving youth space for self-expression and creativity, helping them harness AI technology to address behavioural challenges. The program aims to build a conscious and proactive digital generation capable of leveraging technology for sustainable community impact and behavioural health promotion.
The "Shaping the Future of Innovation" initiative represents a qualitative leap in integrating digital transformation with behavioural awareness messaging, according to the Behavioral Healthcare Center. It is part of Daam’s efforts to promote behavioural health among youth, and forms a crucial part of a comprehensive strategy to build a conscious and proactive digital generation.
Participants in the program are taught mechanisms for designing digital awareness presentations and platforms using modern technologies. They are also taught how to create impactful awareness messages using these tools, with the aim of promoting positive societal change and addressing behavioural issues that matter to them.
In summary, "Shaping the Future of Innovation" is a youth-focused program that blends AI training with behavioural health education to empower young people in Qatar to lead digital initiatives promoting psychological well-being and societal awareness.
- The innovative training initiative "Shaping the Future of Innovation" not only provides young participants with AI and digital design skills, but also teaches them how to use these tools to create awareness campaigns about behavioral health issues, thus leveraging technology for sustainable community impact.
