The event started with a brief introduction about Nuqul Group’s team which was followed by the overall methodology adopted by both Nuqul Group and the philanthropic arm of the family- Elia Nuqul Foundation “ENF”. Success stories and case studies were presented and attendees interacted with Nuqul’s team to learn more about the adopted community in Al Koura District along with the educational scholarships and social entrepreneurship program at ENF.   

On this occasion and representing Nuqul Group’s CSR initiative, Nadine Tadros, commented: “Today’s session is all about sharing experiences and learning from each other, we were impressed with the level of the student’s knowledge and their ambition to learn adding valuable practical experience that can be implemented through their own CSR projects.  We thank Al Ahli Holding Group and BDC for offering us this platform, and we are excited to actually see their ideas being transformed into tangible projects benefiting our community.”

The session focused on equipping the students with the right knowledge extracted from a practical experience model. Nuqul’s team focused on the accomplishments of both organizations while highlighting challenges, failures and lessons learnt. The session ended with questions raised by the trainees followed by testimonials and the distribution of Elia Nuqul’s book entitled “A Promise Fulfilled”.
