00:00Every session impacts the children differently. So, for instance, we had the
00:10first session was innovation. This session was reading and it was very
00:17interesting to see how the children shift and change. They're curious, you
00:22know. Our theme is we create to innovate. This is our UAE. This is the theme and
00:27the slogan that they came up with beginning of the year. And so, every
00:31session we give them the freedom to select their own topic. So, the first one
00:35was innovation, second one is reading, and third one, which we will be announcing
00:40soon. And they're working on it. They actually sit and brainstorm on sessions.
00:44They see what's happening around the news and it impacts them because they
00:48want to be part of the society. They know they're part of the change today with
00:51the children charge of being the hub of the new Children's Parliament. So, today
00:58we saw three projects, but it was a collaboration of 10 to 20 students. So, we
01:03have these members of Parliament, 20 children, working together on one certain
01:08project. So, they've left their egos aside. They've put their troubles aside.
01:11They're focused. And this is what we need. We need to build, you know, a generation
01:17that is strong in leadership and has the leadership qualities, that is able
01:22to put down aside everything and collaborate when needed. They need to
01:26know the language. They need to be well-read. And also, most importantly, they
01:29need to be, they need to represent the Sharjah in the most beautiful way, which
01:34by default represents the UAE in the best way possible.
01:37I think that this event was, I don't think I say it and know that this event,
01:45I'm going to go out from here and I have many, many new knowledge and
01:51information about the people and what they say and how I ask the many
01:57questions to know about new things to get what I would like to have in the
02:04future and to reach my dreams, inshallah.
02:08I come here to learn how to be strong with yourself. I learn about reading and
02:16writing and all this.
02:19We are in 2016 and we must know how to read in Arabic or in English because the
02:26reading is important to help you in many things like study and in your college and
02:32in your work.
02:33I encourage all the people from children to old and teenagers and all the people
02:40to read because reading is very important. We can't talk like this if we didn't
02:45read. We can't stop with the people and talk with them and say and listen to
02:51them if we didn't read because reading is another world. From reading, we learn
02:56new words, we learn about the people experiments, we learn about the
03:03countries. I'm in the UAE today but I read about London. I would travel to
03:09London but I'm in the UAE by this reading.
03:11Reading is very important. It's how you release whatever goes into your head to
03:18the world as a writer and me as a reader and I love to read. I run away from
03:24reality. I live the book and you know I would cry, I would laugh, I would, you
03:31know, my mood would completely change depending on the book I'm reading.
03:36I talk to all people reading and writing because it's important in your life.
03:41Children should read books because that is their window to imagination and the
03:50more imaginative children are, the more fun their life is.
