Tolerance & Coexistence National Festival 2018

On Zayed's Approach

About

Tolerance is embedded in the DNA of UAE society. In line with the mission of the Ministry of Tolerance to spread the message of tolerance, the Festival seeks to emphasise its benefits to all. To be held from 9-16 November 2018 under the theme: “A Zayed Legacy”, the festival represents our pride in the UAE’s Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who laid down the foundation for social cohesion and instilled the values of tolerance, respect, coexistence and harmony among all UAE citizens and residents to achieve happiness and prosperity for all. The National Festival of Tolerance will feature inclusive public events and outcome-oriented Forums. The public events will provide ample opportunity for everyone to appreciate the value of difference and diversity, across culture, art, music, sport and other aspects that contribute to the vibrant tapestry of the UAE. The Forums, in which participation is by invitation only, will facilitate meaningful exchange among the country’s youth, women, expatriate community leaders and others important to the dialogue. Importantly, prominent global experts and Nobel laureates will also help shape the way forward.
