Abu Dhabi has positioned itself as an inspired destination through its vision to nurture a thriving cultural hub that highlights the UAE's rich national heritage and presents the best of global art, museums and performance to the region. The Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT) aims to increase public engagement with Abu Dhabi's historic sites and museums through a cultural education programme that aspires to engage individuals and communities and foster a love for learning. Cultural education helps instil values of inclusion and cross-cultural understanding, as well as values critical in increasingly diverse cities and communities. Informal educational programmes and resources provide educators and students with tools that raise an awareness of art and heritage and inspire individuals to be proud of their heritage and identity and celebrate cultural diversity. DCT's Education & Outreach Department develops and delivers a dynamic range of cultural education activities across its cultural sites, community and educational spaces throughout the year. Tangible and intangible heritage and visual and performing arts programmes are all supported by educational materials that strive to create awareness among varied segments of society, notably youth and students.
