Society and a Strong National Identity,’ coinciding with the International Day of Families. The event took place at Al Falah Majlis, part of Abu Dhabi
Majalis under the Office of Citizens and Community Affairs at the Presidential Court.

The session was attended by Sheikha Moza bint Khalifa bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, Ambassador of Elderly Projects at PureHealth; Her Excellency

The session addressed the significance of intergenerational solidarity as a fundamental pillar in building a cohesive society that preserves its history,
engages with the present, and thoughtfully shapes its future. It also emphasized the role of intergenerational dialogue in passing down values and
positive traditions, strengthening national identity, and fostering a sense of responsibility and cultural awareness among the youth.

Commitment to Leadership

and spoke about the significance of family as the foundation of a stable society. This focus symbolises the commitment of our wise leadership, led by

programs supporting families across the region. These programs cover a wide range of areas, including education, health, housing, employment, along
