Doha: The Protection and Social Rehabilitation Center (AMAN), a center operating under Qatar Foundation (QF), launched the interactive game "Aman Journey" on Tuesday. The event was organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) and the Doha Bank Group (DBG), marking the celebration of World Children's Day 2025, observed annually on November 20.
According to Qatar News Agency, the launch took place in a dedicated QF pavilion, with Assistant Undersecretary for Special Education Affairs, Omar Abdulaziz Al Naama, alongside several of AMAN's partners from various sectors in attendance. Acting Executive Director of AMAN, Fadhel bin Mohammed Al Kaabi, emphasized that the center is committed to producing innovative interactive programs for children. He noted that the game aims to strengthen children's awareness of social protection issues, equip them with skills to resist all kinds of violence, and reinforce personality building and positive behavior.
Al Kaabi highlighted the importance of integrating technology with awareness projects targeting women and children. This approach aligns with Qatar National Vision and supports innovation, as well as the objectives of the Third National Development Strategy, which emphasizes digital economy advancement and leveraging technology to serve the community. He stressed the need for concerted efforts among relevant agencies in the educational and health sectors to ensure a safe environment for children and combat violence against them, considering them the cornerstone of the future.
Director of Community Awareness at AMAN, Bukhita Al Ghiathin, explained that the game is an interactive digital platform available on the MoEHE's Qatar Education portal, targeting children aged 4 to 8 years. The game takes the child on a journey through landmarks in Qatar, delivering awareness content in a question-and-answer format, thereby strengthening the child's understanding of social protection mechanisms and how to safeguard themselves at home and in public spaces.
Director of the Office of Communication and Media at AMAN, Hanan Al Ali, underscored the importance of community partnership in the project's success. She noted that DBG provides prizes for participants and selects the best player who applies healthy behavioral practices in interactions with others. The game will be accessible to all public and private schools via the Qatar Education Platform and will be introduced through AMAN's awareness workshops in schools. Additionally, a dedicated pavilion will showcase and operate the game for visitors, with promotions carried out through social media platforms.
Notably, AMAN, established in 2013, operates to protect and rehabilitate women and children victimized by violence and family breakdown, contributing to their reintegration into the community through a range of awareness and rehabilitation programs.
