Series of initiatives

The celebrations will include a series of initiatives to behold the UAE’s glorious history, righteous values and several glowing achievements.

This will be done by relying on its youth as a human resource. The nation will continue to invest in the youth by equipping them with the skills necessary to forge their future.

Golden Jubilee Committee

The Golden Jubilee Committee was established in December 2019 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

Alongside governing the UAE’s Golden Jubilee celebrations, the committee will be developing a comprehensive preparation plan. It will be forming organisation teams to execute the plans to mark the nation’s 50th anniversary in 2021. The Committee is working on a diverse agenda built on four strategic pillars that will cover several development initiatives. The aim is to create real changes through socioeconomic and developmental policies for generations to come.

Foundational pillars

The activities marking “The Year 50” will be organised around the following foundational pillars:

* The Year 50 will be launched with a festive spirit that will engage all those who consider the UAE as their homeland.

* All UAE nationals will be called upon to contemplate the values and achievements of the past in acknowledgement of the Founding Fathers of the UAE.

Everyday in the run up to December 2, the residents will be invited to visit national attractions, and discover hidden gems around UAE. They are also expected to learn and sing the national anthem and click photos of location that hold a meaning for them.

Governmental organisations, private firms, schools etc are there to support the Golden Jubilee project.
