In a landmark move to strengthen the social fabric of the nation, the Government of Sharjah has partnered with the UAE Ministry of Tolerance and Coexistence to promote values of mutual respect, diversity, and cultural understanding. This collaboration is aligned with the UAE’s broader vision of cultivating an inclusive, harmonious society rooted in the principles of tolerance.
The joint initiative will involve educational programs, public awareness campaigns, cross-cultural dialogues, and community events designed to celebrate the UAE’s multicultural identity. Special focus will be placed on engaging youth, schools, and cultural institutions to foster open-mindedness and unity among the next generation.
Officials from both Sharjah and the Ministry emphasized that this partnership reflects the UAE’s firm commitment to peaceful coexistence, social cohesion, and global citizenship. They also highlighted the importance of tolerance in the face of global challenges such as xenophobia, extremism, and cultural fragmentation.
Sharjah, already recognized as a cultural capital of the Arab world, is expected to play a leading role in organizing forums, exhibitions, and training sessions that support this cause. With this partnership, the emirate aims to set a model for sustainable peacebuilding and cultural diplomacy both locally and internationally.
