| | QFI programme brings Qatari, US students together | | DOHA WEVIDEO, the first company to offer full featured, cloudbased, collaborative video editing, has partnered Qatar Foundation International (QFI) to employ collaborative film making in fostering US – Arab cultural ties.
As part of an 'Exploring Science' exchange trip to Doha, 39 students from Chicago, United States and Qatari schools came together to conduct environmental projects and share their cultural experiences through discussions, music, and art, a statement issued by the QFI said.
Following the 10-day trip, the students are now using WeVideo as a part of QFI's online Yallah forum to collaborate on films, which show how water connects cultures.
Students from the US and Qatar will get back together in Washington, DC in March to showcase their work at the Environmental Film Festival.
"WeVideo's cloud-based collaborative film editing is a perfect fit for our student exchanges. The trips are just the first step towards sustained interaction between US and Qatari schools," said Maggie Mitchell Salem, executive director of Qatar Foundation International.
