Doha, November 20 (QNA) - Qatar University (QU)'s College of Education recently hosted the vibrant and enriching International Children's Day festival, resonating with the theme "Passion and Profession... Children's Bridge to the Future." The festivity, organized annually by the Early Childhood Center, stood as a testament to celebrating children while nurturing their growth and development in an engaging manner.

This convergence of professionals and children fostered an inspiring exchange of knowledge and expertise.
