From Stories to Identity: Qatar Nanny Training Academy Highlights the Connection Between Islamic Values and Qatari Heritage at Qitaf Quranic Forum

Through an interactive storytelling corner for children and the “Roots of Authenticity” workshop, QNTA presented an educational experience connecting Islamic values with Qatari identity and heritage.

Reaffirming its commitment to promoting values-based education and strengthening cultural identity, Qatar Nanny Training Academy (QNTA) participated in the second edition of Qitaf Quranic Forum, held under the theme “Education: From Formation to Empowerment”, through Takween City, within the Community Section. QNTA presented a series of educational experiences highlighting the role of heritage and Islamic values in nurturing children and shaping their identity.

As part of its participation, QNTA hosted an interactive storytelling corner for children, featuring traditional stories that introduced religious and moral values through engaging, age-appropriate narratives. The corner welcomed numerous visitors, including children from public and private schools, families, representatives of various organisations, and visitors from Qatar and across the Arab world. The strong engagement reflected the value of initiatives that bring together education, cultural heritage and children’s development.

QNTA also delivered a workshop entitled “Roots of Authenticity: Islamic Values Embedded in Qatari Heritage”, offering visitors an opportunity to explore the deep connection between Islamic values and Qatari cultural heritage, while highlighting the role of heritage in preserving values and passing them on across generations.

QNTA’s participation reflects its mission to prepare qualified nannies who combine professional competence with educational awareness, Islamic values and an understanding of Qatari identity. It also supports QNTA’s vision of advancing childcare as an integral part of human development, recognizing the nanny as an influential partner in children’s early years and in creating nurturing environments that support their holistic development.

Aligned with the Forum’s theme, “Education: From Formation to Empowerment”, QNTA’s contribution highlights the importance of early childhood education and the shared responsibility of educational institutions, families and the wider community in nurturing children’s values and shaping their identity. Through QNTA’s educational programmes and community initiatives, QNTA continues to expand its contribution to society, supporting the development of a generation that is grounded in its values, proud of its identity and connected to its cultural heritage.
