ABU DHABI, 15th March, 2024 (WAM) -- The Abu Dhabi City Municipality, via the City Municipality Centre, organised a Community Day for senior citizens and residents at Al Bateen Beach. The event was held as part of the "Journey of Generations" initiative in collaboration with the Rabdan Volunteer Team.
The events aimed to boost the role of senior citizens and residents in community forums, and to enhance the awareness of younger generations about the value and status of senior citizens and residents. The goal was to foster closer interactions and strengthen unity, bonding, rapport, and affection across different generations and ages. Additionally, the activities focused on breaking the solitude of senior citizens, boosting their community participation through physical activity, and creating community events for them to engage with younger generations and become familiar with their interests.
The Community Day for senior citizens and residents featured a variety of awareness and entertainment programmes, where youth, senior citizens, and residents exchanged conversations to share memories, life, and practical experiences to benefit younger generations. Moreover, the senior citizens offered advice to the youth, encouraging them to pursue education, work, and serve the country according to their fields, interests, and abilities. This guidance aimed to inspire the youth to contribute to nation-building, progress, and development, and to become exemplary role models for future generations.
