In partnership with bp Oman, Outward Bound Oman held a ceremony to launch the ‘Build Your Resilience’ programme, under the patronage of Her Highness Mona Fahad Al Said, Assistant Vice Chancellor of Sultan Qaboos University. The programme aims to support the mental wellbeing and resilience of 1000 young Omanis aged 18 to 30 in areas affected by Cyclone Shaheen, primarily in North and South Al Batinah.

The programme includes 50 indoor courses for Omani youth which will be held at the Outward Bound Oman Muscat Centre. The courses will enhance participants’ soft skills, interpersonal skills and capabilities. It also offers a safe environment to discuss mental wellbeing and share advice to achieving personal and professional success.
