Fruitful pastime for teens

Astral
By Astral

Hi all,

How to keep a teen occupied in fruitful pursuits?

I'm working and would appreciate suggestions about available organisations that offer short -duration courses, maybe a month or two, so my teenager can learn some skill. It could be anything like music or carpentry or computer skills(which ofcourse most kids already excel in)or sports(he's keen about football)or public speaking or just about anything useful you good people could suggest.

I wanna make sure he develops some good skills. Are there any local organisations that offer short workshops kinda stuff?

Thanx & Good Day

Thanks LoveDoha & TheRock

But wanted to know if Aspire provides training too for expats. I heard it is only for the younger age-group??

Anyone know anything about Carpentry?? And what is this Qatar Scientific Club or Society? Do they have any workshop kinds for teens.

Any info on the above will be swell help!! Thanx.

Lot of possibilities are out there. just one of them is the Doha chapter of Toast masters. Look up their number. Must be some threads in the archives here, or can find on google.
