"Intentional parenting, culture and identity, and sustainable and family-friendly cities" are just a few of the topics being addressed by a group of experts this week in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The World Early Childhood Development (WED) Movement is holding its first Innovation Lab in the emirate, where more than 30 local, regional, and international experts are meeting to work on solutions to problems faced by children in Abu Dhabi and across the globe, Gulf News reports.
"We are committed to fostering global partnerships and advancing scientific research to devise innovative, culturally-aligned solutions that resonate with Abu Dhabi's strategic development objectives," says Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE's prime minister and chairman of the WED movement, per a press release.
"Our collaborative efforts are geared towards enriching our youth's lives, establishing robust education systems, and cultivating environments that foster familial and communal bonds," says Sana Suhail, director-general of the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority, per Gulf News.
Field visits to local nurseries, schools, and cultural sites will provide the experts with insights into local socio-economic and urban design challenges.
They'll present their prototypes to a jury, including UAE minister of state for international cooperation Reem Al
