In a recent talk, HH Sheikha Latifa discussed “Preserving the Past, Building a Sustainable Future.” This is about keeping the history of the region safe while making sure we grow well.
The Importance of Heritage
Heritage is like our memory and who we are. It shows our culture and history, passed down from older generations. It helps us connect with different people and learn from each other. Preserving heritage is a big deal for the UAE, helping our culture and development.
UAE’s Heritage Work
Saving Our Culture
The UAE has a strong plan to save our heritage. We take care of special places and things that show our culture. This also helps us meet our other goals. The UAE is proud to share this duty with other countries and has listed many special cultural things with UNESCO.
Leading in Heritage Care
The UAE is a Top Preserver
The UAE is doing great in keeping its heritage safe. It’s a leader among Arab countries and ranks seventh worldwide for caring about cultural things. We’ve put 14 important things on the UNESCO list, like ‘Al-Sadu’ and ‘Arabic Coffee.’
Sharing Our Culture
Telling Others About UAE’s Culture
We’re showing the world what UAE’s culture is like. We have events and projects that keep our customs, arts, and traditions alive. Dubai’s ‘Faces of Hatta’ project is a cool example. It helps keep stories from the past for the future.
Dubai’s Culture Online
Dubai’s Unique Culture
The region’s culture shines online too. We’re on Google Arts & Culture, showing off our creative side. The ‘Dubai’s Culture & Heritage’ project is all about our history and creativity. The Al Shindagha Museum is also a great place to learn about our past.
Heritage and Growth
Culture Helps Us Grow
Heritage isn’t just about the past. It helps us make a strong economy and grow well. It gives us new ways to use our talents and make money. This helps our society and solves problems.
Young People Matter
Kids and Heritage
HH Sheikha Latifa says young people are important. They can help keep our stories and traditions alive. By doing this, they can make our future strong and special. Our heritage journey never stops, and young people are a big part of it.
