The National Festival of Tolerance

The National Festival of Tolerance will feature inclusive public events and outcome-oriented Forums. The public events will provide ample opportunity for everyone to appreciate the value of difference and diversity, across culture, art, music, sport and other aspects that contribute to the vibrant tapestry of the UAE. The Forums, in which participation is by invitation only, will facilitate meaningful exchange among the country’s youth, women, expatriate community leaders and others important to the dialogue. Importantly, prominent global experts and Nobel laureates will also help shape the way forward.
