Muscat Municipality kicks off School awareness project
Muscat Municipality always seeks to employ community partnership in its initiatives to stop violations happening to municipal laws and regulations. This strategy can be seen clearly either on the Municipality`s official networks on social media or in the awareness campaigns it carries out. One of that initiative was launching the hashtag "Be cooperative & cooperate with Muscat Municipality".
Muscat Municipality launched last year a school awareness programme intended to spread awareness on maintaining public facilities and the potential risks of tampering with them. An awareness dialogue was carried out with students of Muscat governorate where they had some discussion sessions, painting competitions and lectures.
School morning assembly was also used as a mean to transfer municipal messages. Through that the Municipality used a few minutes from the morning assembly as an awareness break where a qualified cadre talked about the common negative phenomena that poses a threat to local health.
Young children have been also engaged in such programmes. Muscat Municipality launched "Young Health Inspector" prorgamme which involves young people to work as a municipal health inspector and carry out field visits to establishments related to public health. Such programmes are intended to familiarise young people with the municipal conditions necessary fro carrying out such activities.
