and principles.

The activities of the program are being held at the Ajman Creative Hub, and will run until

other neighbouring Emirates. Participants from various government departments, institutions,

and the private sector in the Emirate of Ajman are also attending this program.

pillars that underscores the significance of fortifying national identity among the youth. The

significant threat to their good citizenship principles or linguistic identity. Additionally, it also

seeks to promote Emirati values and customs that are consistent with digital citizenship and
contribute to further developing a positive reputation for society and the nation. Additionally,

the program empowers and encourages youth to participate in the decision-making processes

and increases their understanding of their crucial role in promoting societal improvement.
