GEMS World Academy hosts Heritage Day to mark UAE National Day
|
- In the presence of HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein
HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, wife of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, graced the Heritage Day, organised by GEMS World Academy today in celebration of the UAE National Day, by her presence.
The celebration, held in co-operation with the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding at The Academy premises in Al Barsha, gave students and parents an opportunity to learn about Arabian culture and way of life in the UAE.
The Academy was transformed into a ‘Heritage Village’ with the décor and ambience resembling traditional dwellings and alleyways in the UAE. A series of activities such as alyola and razfa dances, henna applications, preparation of traditional coffee and handicraft displays were also part of the celebration.
Stuart Dennis, Principal of GEMS World Academy said: “Inter-cultural understanding is one of the guiding principles of education at GEMS World Academy. We are proud to celebrate the UAE National Day in such a way that brings our students closer to the culture, traditions and people of the country in which they live and learn.
“We are also honoured to have HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein as the guest of honour at our Heritage Day. The support Her Royal Highness has demonstrated through her presence will promote cultural exchanges between expatriates and UAE nationals and strengthen bonds as global citizens.”
