Al Ain Zoo is launching a video competition for individuals with special needs, set to run from 1 to 30 April 2014, in line with the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed earlier this year with the Ministry of Interior Centres for the Rehabilitation and Employment of People with Special Needs, specifically aimed at training and employing qualified UAE Nationals.
Individuals are encouraged to explore the zoo and get creative by taking videos of Al Ain Zoo exhibits, landscapes, and more. H.E. Ghanim Mubarak Al Hajeri, Director General of the Zoo & Aquarium Public Institution in Al Ain, commented:
“Al Ain Zoo has worked closely with the Ministry of Interior Centres for the Rehabilitation and Employment of People with Special Needs to launch this competition, which will facilitate engagement in the various programmes offered at the zoo. As part of our ongoing commitment to support individuals with special needs, Al Ain Zoo is consistently collaborating with various organisations to develop the skills sets of these individuals, and to encourage continued integration. In fact, we have already welcomed a number of trainees as full-time employees due to their impressive skills, who are now an essential part of Al Ain Zoo’s career development programme.”
The videos must be between two and five minutes in length, and must showcase the zoo’s exhibits or landscapes. A jury from the zoo is set to review entries and announce a winner on 1 May 2014, who will receive a cash prize of AED 5,000.
Al Ain Zoo is dedicated to training and employing qualified UAE nationals with special needs. As part of the ongoing agreement with Ministry of Interior Centres for the Rehabilitation and Employment of People with Special Needs, a number of trainees have been welcomed and became full-time employees at Al Ain Zoo, and are now an essential part in the design and development of its career development programme.
