Miral and ADEK Announce Partnership to Empower Future Leaders
Miral Hosted Students to Highlight Marine Life Conservation at the Yas SeaWorld Research & Rescue Centre.
Miral, a leader in creating immersive destinations in Abu Dhabi, has partnered with the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) to enrich student engagement, foster educational opportunities, and equip students with future-ready skills. This partnership aims to elevate academic achievements while addressing the evolving demands of modern education.
Focus on Skill Development
As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy, Miral emphasizes education and skill-building. Students will have access to expert-led sessions in fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Marketing, Health and Safety, Digital Operations, and Finance. Additionally, the initiative offers valuable internship opportunities across Miral’s portfolio of world-class experiences, ensuring students gain practical insights and professional exposure.
Hands-On Learning at Yas SeaWorld
Under this collaboration, 25 students from Repton Private School, Abu Dhabi, recently participated in an interactive session at the Yas SeaWorld Research & Rescue Center. The session, organized in partnership with ADEK, highlighted the importance of sustainability in marine life conservation. Students in grades six and seven had the opportunity to contribute to a turtle rescue mission, working closely with Yas SeaWorld’s experts. They learned how to measure, weigh, and assess turtles for medical conditions before releasing them back into their natural habitats. This hands-on experience emphasized the importance of sustainable practices to protect marine ecosystems.
“Our partnership with ADEK underscores our efforts to engage today’s youth beyond the classroom and empower them with essential tools to impact tomorrow,” said Taghrid AlSaeed, Executive Director, Marketing, Communications & Events at Miral. “The interactive learning session provided by the educational team at the Yas SeaWorld Research & Rescue Centre is among several learning experiences that are part of our collaboration with ADEK. It aims to inspire the next generation of leaders through the wonders of marine wildlife, fostering a sense of stewardship and responsibility to the environment. This initiative reinforces our belief that safeguarding the future of our planet is a collective obligation, one that begins by cultivating an appreciation for the environment at an early age.”
Dr. Bashaer Almatrooshi, Executive Director - Talent Enablement Sector at ADEK, said: “We are committed to enhancing the learning process for our students by providing exceptional academic experiences. Our collaboration with Miral underscores this commitment and highlights the importance of experiential learning that will positively impact their academic performance. Learning is a continuous journey that goes beyond the classroom, and this step aligns with our goal of preparing future generations by offering innovative teaching methods that foster creativity and innovation.”
Promoting Sustainability and Wildlife Conservation
The Yas SeaWorld Research & Rescue Centre, with over 60 years of expertise inherited from SeaWorld, continues to strengthen regional rescue networks. It collaborates with government authorities and partners to rescue, rehabilitate, and release marine animals, reflecting a steadfast commitment to wildlife preservation.
Supporting Abu Dhabi’s Strategic Goals
This partnership reflects Miral’s dedication to engaging with educational institutions and empowering young individuals. It aligns with Abu Dhabi’s Tourism Strategy 2030, which seeks to inspire youth to explore careers in tourism and create new job opportunities within the sector.
Expanding Educational Initiatives
Earlier this year, Miral partnered with the Rize University & Career Guidance Program (UPCG), an ADEK-powered initiative, to host a lecture for ten students. This session provided insights into the entertainment and tourism industry, further emphasizing Miral’s commitment to developing future talent and nurturing a knowledge-based society.
