ECA Abu Dhabi, Manchester City Football Schools unite for ‘Healthy Lifestyles’

Abu Dhabi: The Early Childhood Authority (ECA) at Abu Dhabi and Manchester City Football Schools UAE are entering into a partnership which will deliver the ‘Healthy Lifestyles’ program to primary school students between 4-8 year

The collaboration comes at a time when the world prepares itself to celebrate the Annual World Play Day on 28th of May 2022.

The initiative, currently in its pilot phase, is part of ECA’s World Early Childhood Development (WED) Movement. Launched in 2021, WED Movement is platform under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of Crown Prince Court and Chairman of the ECA.

WED recognizes the importance of play in the cognitive and physical development of young children, and gathers global experts and innovators who have come together to develop effective strategies and programs to positively impact the development of young children, and further innovate in the early childhood sector in Abu Dhabi and beyond.

Manchester City Football School _ ‘Healthy Lifestyles

To date, approximately 900 students in 11 schools across Abu Dhabi have benefited from the WED ‘Healthy Lifestyles’ program for young primary school.

Based on the success of this pilot program, ECA and Manchester City Football Schools UAE will expand their partnership, aspiring to reach 2,000+ kids of ages between 4 – 8 years, in the next academic year.

THE PROGRAM

Delivered by specially-trained Manchester City Football Schools coaches, the Healthy Lifestyle in-school program consists of two fun and interactive lessons; 1 Theory and 1 Practical. The lessons educate children the significance of being active, eating well and leading a healthy lifestyle, all key priorities of the WED Movement.

The concept of ‘play’ is often overlooked, and is therefore not adequately planned into a child’s routine both at home and at school. Structured and unstructured play with others and active living are key to helping children grow into healthy adults and develop important social skills, such as learning sharing, tolerance and understanding, problem-solving, conflict resolution, and language skills. World Play Day is an excellent reminder of this incredibly important element in a child’s development.

Ms. Sana Mohamed Suhail, Director-General of Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority (ECA) observed about the special day.

The ECA Abu Dhabi Director-General elaborated that, “In light of this, supporting the Healthy Lifestyle Program and working alongside Manchester City Football Schools UAE was a natural partnership. With a shared goal of ensuring the best opportunity for children to further their physical and cognitive development, we’re excited to see this roll-out and look forward to further helping parents and teachers hone their skills on how they can support play – in this case, through football.”

Meanwhile, Mr. Simon Hewitt, Senior Manager, Football Operations MENA – Football Education, City Football Services remarked that, “The Healthy Lifestyles program is very much part of our philosophy, and the power of football encourages children to make smart choices that can last a lifetime.”

“We started the Healthy Lifestyles program in the UAE five years ago, reaching thousands of young teens. We are delighted to have the opportunity to adapt the curriculum for a younger age group, and look forward to its continued delivery with the Early Childhood Authority, as part of its important WED movement,” Mr. Hewitt explained.
