Dubai Educational Zone (DEZ) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the launch of the first summer camp named as ‘Smart Summer 2014.’

The MoU was signed with ICDL GCC Foundation, an organisation that promotes digital skills and cyber safety across the Gulf region and Iraq, and the National Academy for Research and Development (NARD). The Smart Summer will be held for four weeks from August 3 to 28.

The MoU was signed by Dr Ahmad Eid Al Mansouri, director of Dubai Educational Zone, Jamil Ezzo, director general of the ICDL Foundation, and Dr Najwa Diab, chief executive of NARD in a formal ceremony held at the DEZ headquarters in Al Qusais.

Under the terms of the MoU the summer camp will be held at the educational zone with the main aim of keeping the youth busy and occupied during the summer vacation with useful activities as well as learning technical skills that will benefit them in their educational and personal lives.

The camp will also focus on imparting awareness and skills related to the use of computer, Internet and modern smart devices along with the proper use of social networking sites, in an effective, responsible, ethical and secure manner.  – TradeArabia News Service
