As part of its pioneering efforts to enhance the active participation of People of Determination in public and cultural life, Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination has announced the launch of the "Document" project. This innovative initiative highlights UAE history through the voices of People of Determination, supported in partnership with TRENDS Research and Advisory.
The project falls under the umbrella of the "Talented Determination" initiative, launched by the organization to support the diverse talents of People of Determination in fields such as acting, media presentation, painting, singing, and music. This initiative has resulted in remarkable achievements, such as producing plays like The Ashhfan Family, organizing musical concerts, and launching a podcast program.
A Podcast Series Documenting History Through the Voices of People of Determination
The "Document" project enhances the role of People of Determination in media and national documentation. In partnership with Trends Research and Consultations, it aims to highlight historical milestones and notable Emirati personalities that shaped the identity of the country. The project features a podcast series consisting of 25 short episodes, each lasting between 5 to 8 minutes. The episodes are presented by five People of Determination, representing various challenges, and will cover diverse topics such as stories about founding leaders, Emirati cultural heritage, the development of Emirati literature, traditional crafts, and historical landmarks like Qasr Al Hosn and Al Jahili Fort.
The series also shines a light on ancient cultural practices, the role of women in preserving heritage, and social traditions such as marriage and celebrations, while focusing on transferring these values to younger generations. The project’s flexibility allows it to address topics like economic and social development, events that united the Emirati community, and stories of influential figures in the nation’s development.
Project Goals and Strategic Role
The "Document" project aims to empower People of Determination by supporting their roles as broadcasters and key contributors to documenting national heritage and delivering impactful media content. It strives to foster national pride by raising public awareness of the importance of preserving Emirati heritage and deepening the national sentiment for the country's rich history. Additionally, it aims to spread historical knowledge through simplified, engaging storytelling that resonates with all age groups, especially young generations.
Creativity and Excellence
The People of Determination broadcasters participating in the podcast have been trained through intensive programs in presentation skills and media techniques, ensuring the delivery of creative and professional episodes. The project also includes digital seminars and discussions with the audience to foster community interaction around the episodes.
Strategic Partnerships for Enhanced Reach
The project collaborates with educational and cultural institutions to ensure that the content reaches as many beneficiaries as possible. "The Document" is more than just a podcast series; it is a living example of the creativity and determination that People of Determination possess and their role in producing cultural and historical content, showcasing their role as key partners in building the nation's cultural future.
Through this project, "The Document," Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination reaffirms its commitment to achieving its strategic vision of empowering People of Determination and enhancing their contributions to Emirati society, reflecting the spirit of innovation and national determination.
