Sharjah: Arada is hosting an Emirati Women’s Day event to support mindful, sustainable practices in the home. This is in association with Manbat, the master developer’s partnership with the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE), and the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Centre (Sheraa).
The ladies-only community event is designed around this year’s official theme, ‘We Collaborate for Tomorrow,’ with two forward-thinking workshops supporting the UAE’s commitment to sustainability goals.
Each workshop is designed to further strengthen connections between Emirati women with collective experiences and innovative ideas that boost family-focused sustainability.
The event takes place on 27th August 2023 with two hands-on workshops at YourSpace, the events hall located in Aljada’s Madar family entertainment district.
The Plant Workshop will be led by Ms. Eman Al-Marri, a self-taught expert in home organic farming whose drive to encourage more sustainable growing practices in the household has enabled her to become a popular media personality.
The session will include DIY planting along with learning exercises about sustainable farming, starting kitchen gardens, and encouraging fresh local produce for the family.
This Emirati Women’s Day, we’re proud to team up with Sheraa to help encourage our community and local families to put the UAE on the road towards agricultural self-sufficiency in line with the country’s 2030 sustainability goals. This event is an is an invaluable opportunity for participants to acquire skills for everyday sustainability in the home for the entire family.
