K-12 National Identity Activities
Sandooq Al Watan has recognized that it is important for young people, particularly school children to understand as much as possible about the UAE’s unique national identity. Therefore, we are introducing this initiative that seeks to promote the understanding and appreciation of the Emirati national identity by developing co-curricular and extracurricular materials and activities for K-12 school children. The activities under development are based on the UAE Cabinet’s 2012 document on what it means to be an Emirati. We expect that these materials will be available in 2023.
Key Features
- Supports UAE curriculum
- Designed for Emiratis and expatriates
- Free to all schools in UAE
Outcomes
- Widespread knowledge of Emirati national identity
- Increased admiration for the UAE’s history and accomplishments
- More pride in being a part of the UAE

Impact
- Enhanced sense of national identity
- Greater understanding and pride in Emirati culture
- Enhanced understanding between Emiratis and Expatriates
