Carefully designed to align with the UAE\u2019s national curriculum, the programs offer students an opportunity to explore the country\u2019s natural environment, cultural identity, and historical journey through immersive, hands-on learning.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1153\" data-end=\"1445\">These programs are grounded in the values and legacy of the late founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God rest his soul. His vision for the nation and his deep respect for heritage and nature continue to serve as guiding principles for generations to come.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1447\" data-end=\"1660\">Part of the museum\u2019s broader initiative under its Education and Community Engagement department, the programs are tailored to support teachers and actively engage students of all ages throughout the academic year.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1662\" data-end=\"2165\">One of the museum\u2019s flagship offerings is the \u201cBaba Zayed\u201d program\u2014a guided tour and interactive workshop that introduces students to the life, values, and enduring legacy of the late founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God rest his soul. Through selected exhibits and storytelling elements\u2014especially those featured in the \u201cOur Beginnings\u201d gallery\u2014students are encouraged to reflect on the values that bind Emiratis together, and how those values still shape the nation\u2019s present and future.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2167\" data-end=\"2481\">For younger age groups, the \u201cLittle Explorer\u201d program provides a more playful and nature-based experience. Held outdoors in the museum\u2019s scenic Garden Trail, the program includes a tour and creative workshop that allows children to discover the natural beauty of the UAE in an age-appropriate and engaging way.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2483\" data-end=\"2975\">Older students are invited to join the \u201cDiscovering History\u201d program, which blends a museum tour with interactive, hands-on workshops focused on archaeology and heritage preservation. This experience gives students a chance to handle replicas of historical artifacts, engage with real archaeological narratives, and better understand how the past continues to influence the UAE\u2019s cultural identity. It also reinforces the idea that preserving heritage is a shared national responsibility.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2977\" data-end=\"3342\">Each of these programs is designed not just to teach facts, but to create meaningful, lasting connections between students and their country\u2019s story. By turning the museum into a living classroom, the Zayed National Museum offers a space where history, values, and identity come to life\u2014planting seeds of pride, curiosity, and responsibility in the next generation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3344\" data-end=\"3607\">Through these thoughtfully crafted experiences, the museum continues to honor the legacy of the late founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God rest his soul, by inspiring young minds and helping them understand the roots from which the UAE continues to grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zayed National Museum invites schools across the UAE to participate in immersive educational experiences that explore the nation&#8217;s environment, history, and the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God rest his soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":14221,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[256],"class_list":["post-14220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-english-stories","tag-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14220","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14220"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14220\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14226,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14220\/revisions\/14226"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uaehumanjourney.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
