It also highlights successful global experiences and focuses on empowering women and girls by engaging them in inspiring knowledge-based dialogues.
Al Liwan Foundation affirms that this initiative represents a new step in spreading the culture of innovation and knowledge, strengthening the role of culture as a bridge for cultural communication, and leveraging modern technology to preserve national identity and the rich Emirati heritage, contributing to building a sustainable future for future generations.
