With support from the Bank of Maldives (BML) Bank Fund, the Foundation of Eydhafushi Youth Linkage (FEYLI) has developed the Vocational Training Lab and established a Digital Studio at the B. Atoll Education Centre.
The association redesigned two classrooms at the B. Atoll Education Centre to enhance students' practical skills and creativity. BML stated that the spaces were developed in a manner most suitable for providing training with modern facilities and strengthening the technical workmanship of the students.
The digital studio established at the school is designed as a complete production setup equipped with digital cameras. BML noted that students will be able to undergo training programs related to photography, videography, and digital content creation in this studio.
Furthermore, under this project, FEYLI association has further developed the previously existing Vocational Training Lab at the school. This includes a carpentry section designed with the necessary woodworking tools, electric tools, and safety equipment, according to BML.
