Nurturing the Roots of our Heritage
Together with AlFahim Group, we have created a series of storytelling majlis’ that have been inspired by the symbolic national tree, which traditionally drew the UAE’s tribal leaders together for important meetings with citizens.
The series will allow for open discussions among renowned and experienced speakers and the younger generation, to help find a balance between modern life and protecting our ecosystems, while also keeping our traditions alive.
Is there more?
Well, it will also help you to think about current challenges in new ways, and open doors to new avenues, enabling you to connect with past wisdom and take it into the future.

Thank you for participating in the Threatened Species Creative Illustration Competition
On Sunday, 20th December, we wrapped up the final session of the Ghaf Youth Majlis series, a collaboration that was carried out together with Al Fahim Group.
During the majlis’, we announced the three winners of the ‘Threatened Species Competition’. A hearty congratulations to Ghassan Abazid (photography category), Noor Altunaiji (artwork category), and Michelle Mathew (poetry category) for your outstanding work! We were very inspired by all the submissions, and hope that youth continue to demonstrate their passion for nature and spread awareness of the importance of our environment, through these creative mediums.
