In a gesture of appreciation for Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority’s (TCA Abu Dhabi’s) efforts in stimulating interest in the arts among the younger generation, the Ministry of Interior yesterday (Monday) honoured the organisation during a ceremony that celebrated partners of the ‘Juvenile Care Centre Rehabilitation Project’.
This acknowledgement follows the recent launch of TCA Abu Dhabi’s ‘Rehabilitation Programme Through Art For Young Generations’, a community outreach arts programme which is set to heighten interest in the arts for young Emiratis currently in juvenile detention centres.
The Ministry of Interior praised TCA Abu Dhabi’s continuous work supporting initiatives that benefit the community, particularly its efforts to support juveniles through social programmes and arts workshops. Such rehabilitation programmes aim to encourage positive juvenile behaviour which ultimately contributes to society’s welfare.
TCA Abu Dhabi’s outreach programme provides an outlet for addressing emotional and behavioural problems by giving participants the opportunity to learn new skills, discover untapped talent, and find positive expression through creative and therapeutic means
