Since opening to the public one week ago on April 22, The Founder’s Memorial, a permanent national tribute commemorating the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, has welcomed more than 500 school students from over 10 educational institutions to learn more about the UAE’s founding father.
The Founder’s Memorial offers educational tours for schools and universities, led by its knowledgeable Emirati Cultural Tour Guides. Beginning at the Welcome Centre, where a state-of-the-art multimedia experience explores Sheikh Zayed as a man and a leader, the 30-minute guided tours through the space are tailored to different age groups and varying levels of familiarity with UAE history. The Welcome Centre also features multimedia presentations exploring Sheikh Zayed’s life and values. Visitors can also learn more about the late Sheikh Zayed through art, nature, words, and stories that the memorial offers.
“One of our most important duties within our overall mandate to commemorate the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, is to educate future generations, as that is the main objective of the memorial. Through a series of personal encounters with his character, The Founder’s Memorial offers young people of all ages a wonderful opportunity to feel more closely connected to our late leader,†said Dr Yousef Al Obaidli, Director General of The Founder’s Memorial.
