HH Sheikha Fatma And HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Unveil KidZania’s
Her Highness Sheikha Fatma bint Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Honorary Citizens of KidZania® Dubai, unveiled a limited edition commemorative book featuring ideas suggested by young visitors to the children’s edutainment destination for a ‘better world and better UAE.’
At a special ceremony held at the Metropolitan Theatre of KidZania®, Her Highness Sheikha Fatma and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed were presented the commemorative handbook by Ric Fearnett, Mayor of KidZania® Dubai. The mascots of the popular children’s leisure destination in The Dubai Mall, Urbano and Vita added fun to the ceremony.
KidZania®’s “Our World. Our Future” book is a unique testament to how children in the UAE perceive the world they live in and what they would wish for the future. The initiative was launched during KidZania®’s UAE 40th National Day celebrations and in line with the four pillars envisaged by the ‘The Spirit of the Union’ campaign to mark the momentous occasion.
Young visitors were asked to record their ideas for the future of the UAE, which was in line with KidZania®’s philosophy of ‘Get Ready for a Better World.’ The ideas thus received were collated into the commemorative book.
Ric Fearnett, Mayor, KidZania® Dubai said: “Her Highness Sheikha Fatma bint Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who inaugurated KidZania Dubai two years ago, represent the future generation of the UAE, and it was befitting that they unveiled the ideas that young children shared about their views on the country’s future and how to make it a better place.”
He added: “Children gave their opinions in a simple, straight and truthful way. The book is original, amusing and some of the solutions for our future are very interesting. We thank Her Highness Sheikha Fatma and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed for being here with us to make this moment truly memorable.”
Among many suggestions that can be found in the book are: “.. give money to the poor; people to stop smoking; stop war between countries; more greenery; and much more.”
