The ‘We Shortened the Distance and Gained Your Sight’ initiative, launched by the Dubai
Community Development Authority, seeks to improve the social integration of senior citizens,
enable them to spend their free time more productively, and boost their spirits. To do so, the
initiative organises a variety of everyday activities, events, and programs that address cultural,
social, recreational, and health-related aspects of senior citizens' lives.
At the end of the visit, the ‘My Happiness’ forum, affiliated with the Senior Citizens Forums
launched by the FDF, was unveiled by organising a trip to Qasr Al Muwaiji in Al Ain to learn about
the most significant historical sites and handicrafts, as well as share experiences and visit social
institutions that offer services to senior citizens across the UAE. The visit aimed at assessing
progress and implementing suitable measures to support this segment of society, enabling them to
live decent and active lives as well as benefit from their experiences in a variety of spheres of life.
