Competitions

This year we will be hosting a range of competitions, including our traditional competitions and brand new ones too!

Young Muavineen Championship is back!

The Young Muavineen Championship is a team competition for 12-15 year olds that tests them on skills such as event management and problem solving. It is a great way for you to hone the skills you will need when you are older and part of Khuddamul Ahmadiyya.

Each region is to submit a team of 3 Atfal. We will have 4 parts of the competitions this year:

Atfal Class Setup – A group of Atfal will be given a table, table cloth, chairs etc, and they will be asked to organise an Atfal class for their local qiadat. The Atfal will need to think about what exactly happens in a traditional Atfal class, and points will be given for their creativity.

Security/Amoomi Arrangements. Atfal will be given a few scenarios and their response will be recorded by National Amoomi team. Atfal will be assessed on planning, resource distribution and problem solving etc.

The Pledge – We will also be quizzing the Atfal on the words of the Atfal pledge. We will be asking Atfal to fill out words of the pledge, and what they can do to ensure that they act upon the pledge.

Team Quiz – We will also be testing the Atfal’s knowledge of the different departments that work under Khuddamul Ahmadiyya and Atfalul Ahmadiyya.

If you would like to take part in your regional Atfal team, speak to your regional Nazim Atfal! Deadline for submission of teams is 17^th September

Young Volunteers Scheme

This is the scheme in which Atfal can take part in Ijtema duties. After signing up for it (on the main registration link for the Ijtema), Atfal will be working alongside various teams taking part in various Ijtema duties.

If I sign up, where will I be doing duty?

All Atfal will be allocated a department, based on their requirements where they will be doing Ijtema duty. It could be office, site, hygiene, bazaar, Amoomi, Ziafat and any other department serving at the Ijtema.

I will be taking part in competitions at the Ijtema, will I still be able to do duty?

Yes, you can provide your availability (for at least 2 hours) so that you can be assigned duties when you are not taking part in the competitions. You can look at the Programme on the Atfal Ijtema webpage to see what time competitions are taking place.

How long will this ijtema duty be?

It is expected to be for around 2 hours a day.

How can I register for this?

You can register through ijtema pre-registration form. In this form, you will be asked if you want to signup for this scheme.

How can I contact Young Volunteer scheme team on the day of Ijtema?

Right after passing through registration, all those who signed up for it should go to Information Desk, where someone from Young Volunteer scheme will already be there for you.

Who do I contact if I need more information on this?

You can email [email protected]

If you find another Tifl with the same number as the one written on your programme, (Every number has multiple matches!) then come to the reception team for a prize! So your challenge is to find the Atfal with your matching numbers. The first 100 Atfal to find their ‘Akhi’ will receive a free Krispy Kreme Donut.
