"Luwaiyah" Launches the "Legal Clinic" Program

Loyak announced the launch of its new Legal Clinic program, in collaboration with Arkan Legal Training Academy, at its new headquarters, Aisha School, which is equipped with the latest classrooms and facilities. The program will serve as an interactive platform for youth aged 13 to 18, running from August 8 to August 30 next year.

The program aims to enhance legal awareness among young people and empower them to understand local and international laws through interactive workshops, group discussions, case studies, and role-playing, supervised by Loyak Academy for Performing Arts (LAPA). This approach helps them make informed and responsible decisions in their daily lives.

In a statement, Fadia Al-Merzouq, Chairperson of Loyak’s Board of Directors, said that the Legal Clinic program represents a significant step in Loyak’s journey toward empowering youth with legal knowledge, raising their awareness in this field, and enhancing their role in building a conscious and responsible society. Al-Merzouq added, “We are pleased to host this program at our new headquarters, Aisha School, which has been equipped with state-of-the-art classrooms to provide a comprehensive educational environment. We are also proud to collaborate with three of Kuwait’s leading lawyers: Dr. Hussein Al-Abdullah, Founder and Managing Partner of Arkan International Legal Consultations; Dr. Faiz Al-Fadli, Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer; and Dr. Muhammad Bouzbar, Senior Advisor at Arkan and Professor of Criminal Law at the College of Law, Kuwait University.”

She noted that this collaboration ensures participants a rich educational experience that combines academic knowledge with practical expertise, along with the artistic component provided by LAPA Academy in the role-playing segment. This component further enhances communication skills, self-confidence, and deep understanding, as participants live the subject matter rather than merely listening. It also facilitates handling sensitive topics, as role-playing provides a safe environment to discuss and resolve social and ethical issues, making the program comprehensive and impactful in the lives of young people and their families.

For his part, Dr. Faiz Al-Fadli, Chief Executive Officer of Arkan Legal Training Academy, emphasized Arkan’s continued commitment to raising legal awareness and knowledge, driven by its social responsibility. He noted that Arkan’s partnership with Loyak to launch the Legal Clinic program will contribute to increasing legal awareness among youth.

Al-Fadli explained that the focus of the first edition of the Legal Clinic on youth stems from practical realities showing a rise in legal cases involving individuals aged 13 to 18. He clarified that the program aims to raise participants’ legal awareness on how to handle legal risks and avoid falling into them, thereby contributing to reducing crime rates.
