President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has announced 2025 as the Year of Community under the slogan ‘Hand in Hand,’ a national initiative reflecting the UAE’s vision of building a united and empowered society.
The Year of Community focuses on strengthening family and community ties by preserving cultural heritage, nurturing intergenerational relationships, and fostering spaces for collaboration, belonging, and shared experiences. It calls on everyone who calls the UAE home to play an active role in society through community service, volunteering, and meaningful initiatives. This effort promotes shared responsibility and collective progress.
The initiative also aims to unlock potential across individuals, families, and organisations by developing skills, nurturing talent, and fostering innovation in areas like entrepreneurship, emerging industries, and artificial intelligence. It aligns with UAE national priorities to enable inclusive growth and create a lasting positive impact.
Overseen by His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court, and Her Highness Sheikha Mariam bint Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairperson of the Presidential Court for National Projects, the Year of Community will see numerous events and initiatives designed to strengthen bonds, uphold Emirati values, and create a thriving society where everyone can contribute.
This initiative invites both citizens and residents to share ideas that strengthen social bonds, drive progress, and celebrate the UAE’s rich cultural diversity, ensuring a strong and flourishing future for all.
