More than 1209 employees and students benefited from these events.

Workshops were also held at the Chess and Culture Club for Ladies in Sharjah and the Sharjah Government Media Bureau entitled “Rationalising is in Your Hands to Achieve Sustainability, Preserving the Rights of Future Generations and Reducing the Consumption of Electricity and Water”. 107 employees benefited from the awareness workshops.

Engineer Ghada Juma Salem pointed out that the Conservation Department focused, during the February events, on school students by organising interactive workshops and innovative initiatives that benefited 1102 male and female students with the aim of instilling a culture of rationalisation in the younger generations, developing a sense of responsibility and motivating them to responsibly use energy and water.

Engineer Ghada Juma Salem added that by implementing the initiative of the young guide at Al Baseer Private School over a period of 3 days, and in conjunction with the month of innovation, the Conservation Department presented a remote awareness workshop for third-grade students at Al Baseer School entitled “Rationalising Tomorrow’s Generations on the importance of rationalisation in society and the most important rationalisation practices in the consumption of electricity and water”.
