The Certified Cultural Guide Programme at Etihad Museum has been launched.
Announced by Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, the programme targets students aged from 10 years to 18 years old.
Held from 18 to 29 July, the programme will include physical and virtual tours of Etihad Museum, with attendees getting the opportunity to learn the requirements to become a certified cultural guide and about the various sections of the museum.
The virtual tours in the programme will be held on Microsoft Teams.
The programme will be held in Arabic and English from Monday to Friday from 10am to 12.30pm and will offer insight into the history of the UAE and the founding fathers.
Hanan Al Harmoodi, Project Manager of the Certified Cultural Guide Programme said, "Through the programme, we also aim to consolidate the cultural and social role of specialised museums and enhance their presence among new generations towards the formation of a rich societal culture. We also seek to strengthen the relationship of the youth with the history of the UAE and its heritage. Emirati culture is present in the minds and hearts of the younger generations and motivates them to draw inspiration from the story of the Founding Fathers to continue the emirate’s development and prosperity over the next 50 years."
