Sheikha Moza attends QF PUE’s musical performance ‘Qatar Jannah’

Doha, Qatar: Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, Chairperson of Qatar Foundation, attended the musical performance “Qatar Jannah,” organized by Qatar Foundation’s Pre-University Education and staged by its school students as part of Qatar National Day celebrations.

The performance – also attended by Her Excellency Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani, Vice Chairperson of Qatar Foundation – followed a creative journey led by students, who presented national and heritage-inspired scenes highlighting education, innovation, and Qatari identity, while showcasing key landmarks of Qatar Foundation’s (QF) Education City. The show concluded with the song “Qatar Jannah,” celebrating unity and national diversity.

The production showcased strong educational and national values, including pride in identity and heritage, the importance of the Arabic language, and a commitment to inclusion by bringing together students of different ages and abilities. It also highlighted Education City’s role as a leading hub for learning, culture, and innovation.

On this occasion, Abeer Al Khalifa, President of Qatar Foundation’s (Pre-University Education (PUE), said: “This musical performance celebrates Qatar National Day and reflects our vision and what we strive to instill in our schools – values of pride in the nation and a strong sense of belonging and loyalty in the hearts of our students.

“It also reflects our strong commitment to nurturing students’ pride in their national identity and creating a joyful festive atmosphere that reflects the importance of this cherished national occasion and the values of unity, solidarity, and pride in our nation’s journey and achievements.”

Al Khalifa explained that what truly sets this performance apart is its ability to bring together students from across Qatar Foundation (QF) schools in one national celebration that reflects Qatar’s identity and honors the legacy of schools that have shaped generations and inspired minds that helped build the nation.

“This musical production goes beyond being a stage performance,” she said. “It is a rich learning experience that helps students build confidence, express themselves creatively, and work together effectively. Through this experience, students connect what they learn in

the arts, music, language, and history to real life, supporting their growth as well-rounded individuals who can contribute positively to society.”

She emphasized that the wide participation of students in this national production reflects the spirit of diversity and integration at the heart of the PUE ecosystem, and highlights how PUE is preparing a generation that is confident in its identity, proud of its values, open to the world, and ready to represent the nation with pride.

Nada Al Korbi, a Qatar History and Islamic Civilization teacher at Academyati, part of QF’s PUE, said: “Students’ participation in this national production was an exceptional experience. From the very first moment, we saw the excitement in their eyes and how rehearsals turned into a true passion through which they expressed their love for their country and pride in their identity.

“This experience gave students a strong sense of belonging, strengthened their self-confidence, and helped them better understand their role and responsibility toward their country. They did not simply perform on stage, they lived the experience through teamwork, cooperation, commitment, and discipline.

“The diversity of age groups added a special spirit to the production. Younger and older students worked together as one team, learning from each other and sharing the same goal. This reflects the inclusive spirit of QF and shows that real education goes beyond textbooks, it is built through meaningful experiences that leave a lasting impact.”

Najla Al Kuwari, the mother of student Latifa Al Kuwari from Tariq Bin Ziad School, also part of QF’s PUE, said: “My daughter’s participation in this national production is a great source of pride for me. It helped shape her character and develop important skills such as confidence, commitment, and time management.”

According to Al Kuwari, it is important for children to understand that belonging to the nation is not only about studying and working, but also about participation, giving back, and representing the country with pride. “My daughter was able to express her love for Qatar in a beautiful and simple way that suits her age,” she added.

“Standing on a large stage in front of a wide audience and prominent figures is very different from any school activity. It gives children real confidence, pushes them beyond their comfort zone, and helps them grow. Taking part in this performance with students from different schools also expanded her friendships and introduced her to new learning environments.”

And Latifa said: “I was happy to be on stage with my friends celebrating Qatar National Day, and I felt proud that I could do something that shows my love for my country.”

The second and final day of performances will take place on Saturday, 13 December, at Qatar National Convention Centre, with the first show being from 3pm-4pm, and the second show from 5pm–6pm. Tickets for the public shows can be purchased through https://tickets.qfschools.qa/.
