AU students participate in the BP Youth Program

A number of university students participated in the Adventurous Youth Camp organized by the British Petroleum Company BP. It was held in Dibba, Fujairah over the course of three consecutive days. The event witnessed participation from across the Arabian Gulf with students from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

The program aims to enhance the spirit of adventure among young people in the Gulf countries and develop their leadership skills through a variety of selected activities and challenges such as climbing the wall, climbing ropes, training on rescue while swimming, mountain biking, kayaking in small boats, and construction of marine buoys. In addition to many games, competitions, activities and workshops that encourage teamwork and motivate young people to find creative solutions and contribute to the protection of the environment and volunteer work. The AU team won many medals during the competitions.
