The workshops, held in various locations including Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Dubai, Al Ain, and Abu Dhabi, will focus on storytelling, crafts, and other creative activities. Eisa Alsubousi, Director of Strategic and Creative Affairs of the 55th Eid Al Etihad, emphasized the importance of community involvement in shaping the celebrations by saying, "Eid Al Etihad is a celebration we all share, and our communities should have a place in shaping how we celebrate it."
Participants can register for the workshops until September 8, and selected individuals will be contacted directly by the Eid Al Etihad team for further details and event locations. The workshops aim to bring people together, listen to their ideas, and create a collective celebration of the UAE's rich heritage and unity.
