Doha Learning Days (DLD) is a community festival offering Qatar’s families, youth, and general public and opportunity to indulge in experiential informal learning.

Rooted in WISE’s goals of fostering a vibrant local learning ecosystem, DLD aims to expand what learning means by offering hands-on learning activities, take learning outside of the formal education setting and into informal community spaces, and expand who is defined as a learning provider, thus making education the business of everyone.

This year’s edition of DLD centers around a strong ‘Youth Empowerment’ theme.

The festival offers a rich selection of workshops and activities that aim to empower young people through a variety of skills focused on advocacy, arts, wellbeing, entrepreneurship, tech, science and coding.

Date: February 1 - February 4 , 2023
