TotalEnergies Qatar has signed an agreement with Qatar Museums to become a ‘Founding Family’ member of Dadu, the Children’s Museum of Qatar.
This partnership further reinforces TotalEnergies’ ties with Qatar Museums, building upon the success of the Qatar-TotalEnergies playground at the National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ).
Dadu is the first institution of its kind in Qatar to provide innovative child development settings and resources to support children, families, and educators to thrive and contribute to a sustainable future. The museum will be Qatar’s first publicly funded museum, with all donors, families, and corporations directly contributing to the future of Qatar and its people.
It is dedicated to the continuous enrichment of the lives of children and their families. The museum is being designed to nurture, challenge, and inspire Qatar’s future leaders and caretakers, fuelling their creativity and encouraging empathy and understanding.
In the presence of H E Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Chairperson of Qatar Museums, and H E Dr. Mohamed bin Saleh Al Sada, President of the Dadu Advisory Committee, a special ceremony was organised at NMoQ during which Matthieu Bouyer, Managing Director of TotalEnergies EP Qatar and Country Chair, and Ahmad Al Namla, CEO of Qatar Museums, signed the sponsorship agreement.
Sheikha Al Mayassa said: “We are pleased to welcome TotalEnergies, a valued long-term partner, as a Founding Family Member of Dadu, Children’s Museum of Qatar. This collaboration symbolises our shared commitment to the holistic development of children through meaningful play. TotalEnergies brings a unique perspective that aligns with our mission, and their active involvement will undoubtedly enhance our ability to provide enriching experiences for our young visitors.”
In his opening speech, Matthieu Bouyer conveyed: “ We are delighted to contribute to this new innovative project of Qatar Museums, Dadu, Children’s Museum of Qatar, where the children of Qatar will be able to learn in an innovative and friendly environment. Our partnership is based on a shared vision – that foresees the development of an innovative, diverse, and progressive nation. Both organisations – Qatar Museums and TotalEnergies — are making strides in their respective domains towards building a more sustainable society, and that starts with education.”
Dadu is pioneering a transformative approach to children’s learning and development.
The museum will foster an environment that allows children to develop essential skills, stimulate creativity, and engage in shared experiences.
