Sharjah Children’s participation featured several key activities, including a panel discussion titled “The Image Through Children’s Eyes,” with the participation of members of the Sharjah Children Shura Council.
The session addressed several themes, including the image as a language and a means of expressing personal feelings and as a tool for conveying cultures. A second theme explored the role of images in building national identity and values, as well as the media and digital impact of images circulated on children’s platforms and their influence on identity, tolerance, cooperation, and giving. The final theme focused on the role of images in developing imagination, creativity, and discovery of the world.
