We at the Y30 Development Foundation are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of the training workshop held in partnership with the Office of Social Affairs and Labour of the Capital Secretariat and the Y30 Development Foundation, with generous funding from UNICEF.

The training programme was delivered by the distinguished trainer Ibtisam Al-Jaadbi, who shared her expertise with the participants over three days from 1 July 2025 to 3 July 2025, providing them with a wealth of knowledge and information. With 18 hours of intensive training, a select group of social workers from various social care centres and homes in the Capital Secretariat were trained and qualified.

The workshop focused on providing participants with basic and advanced skills in ‘case management services’ with the aim of enhancing their personal, social and professional capabilities. The content was designed to enable them to effectively address social and behavioural problems and employ these skills in vital areas, including:

_______

-Innovation and creativity: transforming challenges into creative opportunities.

-Supporting and developing talent: discovering and nurturing the latent abilities of target groups.

We believe that investing in our human resources is the cornerstone of sustainable community development. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our partners for their support, which has had a significant impact on the success of this programme, and we look forward to further fruitful cooperation in the future.

This special celebration was more than just raising a cup; it was a journey of discovery, tracing the story that begins with a tiny bean nurtured in fertile mountain soil and ends with a cup that carries joy, inspiration, and community.

 

Under the theme “The Magical Journey… From Bean to Cup,” the event highlighted coffee as a global symbol of unity — a bridge connecting cultures, stories, and people across continents.

 

Each coffee bean represents dedication, craftsmanship, and passion — from the farmer’s care to the barista’s artistry.

 

One of the event’s most memorable moments was the engaging presence of barista and coffee expert Ammar Al-Ahlasi, who filled the room with enthusiasm and the irresistible aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

 

He came not just to serve coffee, but to share knowledge and unveil the secrets behind this enchanting beverage.

 

Ammar emphasized that brewing coffee is both an art and a ritual — from choosing the right grind size to controlling the water temperature and mastering the pouring technique. Every detail matters.

 

Each drop of water that touches the ground extracts not just flavor, but also a story, a feeling, and a sense of connection — creating a cup that nourishes the soul as much as the senses.

 

In closing, the Y30closing, the Y30 Association, in collaboration with the Y30 Institute, affirmed that this event was more than just a celebration — it was a heartfelt tribute to the timeless values that coffee embodies: dedication, creativity, and human connection.

 

Every cup tells a journey — from the earth to the heart — reminding us that coffee is not merely a beverage, but a way of life.
