Today on May 15th, 2013 in Dubai – More than 1,500 educators have attended What Works, a series of teacher-led professional development workshops for private schools in Dubai by KHDA.  This included heads and principals of various schools and institutes, teachers, academia and students too.

SynergY youth group chosen to Partner and be one of the presenters for the event – PROUDLY SHARED THE INTERESTING WORK DONE BY SYNERGY IN THE RECENT MONTHS AT THE FINALE EVENT THEMED- WHAT WORKED FOR THE YEAR 2012-2013.   SynergY members are recognized and supported enthusiastically by all segments of the society and I, Simran Vedvyas, am very happy and proud to Lead SynergY by Example and join hands with volunteers, students and members from various institutions across UAE.

Dr Abdulla Al Karam, Director General of Knowledge and Human Development Authority describes the beauty of What Works in its simplicity because teachers, leaders and inspiring speakers come from within the community, which means that the practices and knowledge shared is practical, relevant and most importantly, sustainable. This initiative is very inspiring and encouraging.

Since its launch in September 2012, What Works has attracted 120 schools in Dubai.  Organized by education professionals from across Dubai?s private schools, this final event of the 2012-2013 academic series, What Worked, was long awaited but very well coordinated.  In addition to teachers and student volunteers, representatives from Dunia Young Business Leaders Program, Youth in the Emirates Longitudinal Study, and the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding were also present at the event as Partners to share their expertise.

During the day SynergY members also got the opportunity to attend many focused and interesting workshops and lectures.  They got to know about opportunities available to youth ahead of time and are determined to avail and make the best use of these prospects.
