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.”

The Foundation aimed to involve a wide range of organisations and institutions to participate in this initiative and
strengthen its role in fostering a culture of respect the flag. The entities included neighbourhood councils, schools
and universities, trade centres, partners and stakeholders, as well as volunteers and individual contributors. This is
in recognition of the significance of cooperation among members of society in raising the nation's flag properly and

strengthening their sense of national responsibility.

The initiative is based on an intensive media campaign to popularise the Flag Protocol, distribute around fifty

thousand flags, and conduct a series of workshops, most notably the ‘Flag Protocol Workshop'. This workshop
seeks to publicise the history of the UAE flag and its federal law, in addition to clarifying the approved standards of
the country's flag and the right ways to handle it in a manner that preserves its dignity.
