The UAE has launched the Year of Family 2026 under the “UAE Year Of” initiative with the theme “Growing in Unity”, promoting family closeness, stability, and wellbeing. Guided by three priorities—Roots (instilling values), Bonds (strengthening connections), and Branches (providing tools to navigate challenges)—the initiative encourages everyday care and positive interactions. It acknowledges modern parenting challenges, emphasizing growth through learning and connection rather than perfection. By nurturing families, the program aims to build resilient communities, confident future generations, and a stronger nation, continuing the UAE Year Of tradition of aligning national priorities with collective action.
