This nationwide, awareness-raising programme, which runs till 31st October 2024, serves

as a powerful reminder that good citizenship is rooted in responsible behaviour and

practices as well as respect for national symbols.

An annual initiative, the ‘Flag Protectors' initiative aims to foster a sense of national pride
and unity, as well as encourage all segments of society to uphold the values and principles

that define the flag, which stand for sacrifice, peace, spreading goodwill, and protecting the

country. It also aims to raise awareness and understanding of the flag etiquette and

ceremonies, in addition to highlighting the means to preserve its grandeur. This initiative

targets government and private institutions, schools, universities and homes.

Dherar Belhoul Al Falasi, Executive Director of Watani Al Emarat Foundation, said:

“The UAE flag symbolises the nation's rich history and

represents the relentless efforts of our founding fathers

with their authentic ideals and lofty aspirations. By

organising the 12th edition of the ‘Flag Protectors'

initiative, we aim to highlight the significance of fostering

a culture of respect for and preserving the national flag.

This is further a true reflection of our unwavering

dedication to advancing the principles of good

citizenship and strengthening national identity.”
