An interview with one of the participant of "Be Emirati, Act Emirati" Campaign

-How did you reach people ?

through our be emirati act emirati campaign that took place at zayed university, abu dhabi university, alhosn university and HCT.


-What was the reaction ?
students were questioning themselves if whether media has affected them or not. our strong images made students realize how they are losing their identity while not knowing.

-is there any negative sides u want to share ?
no

-Do u think there is enough awareness among young emirati of loosing there culture and heritage ?!
very poor awareness, our young generations do not know how precious their national identity is, especially in our case as the minority of the population. we could easily fade away.

Sheikh Zayed Once Said

"Future generations will be living in a world that is very different from that to which we are accustomed. It is essential that we prepare ourselves and our children for that new world.” 

Sheikh Zayed Quotes

“progress and renaissance are not to be measured by reinforced concrete structures, but rather by building human being and providing citizens with everything that make them live in happiness and decent life.”

“A nation without a past is a nation without a present or future."

“We should preserve our heritage because it is our origin and base, and we have to embrace our origins.”

“The understanding of heritage enlightens one’s judgment and illuminates one’s life”

“Our people should not forget their past and how their ancestors used to live and on what they relied on in their lives. The more they come to feel and know more about their heritage, the more they are interested in their country and willing to defend it.”

“Woman is the maker of generations, ”

Be Emirati .. Act Emirati

A really Great Conference by 4 Students for Zayed University. 

Heritage OR culture !

I was wondering in the previous days about the concept of my project ?! 

Is it the heritage ? or the culture ? or its both together !! 

what would be more attractive to young Generation ?! 

After the last meeting, i reconsidered the definition in mind about  cultural heritage.

i think heritage is something to be respected or a memory from our grandparents something physical. 

On the other hand culture is the behavior, beliefs and values that a group of people accept throughout generations.

At some points these behaviors change due to the time changes.
