Abu Dhabi: A group of Emirati students will be participating for the 6th time in a three week academic training programme on Multiculturalism and Leadership Skills, in Scotland, Zayed University (ZU) announced.

The programme, which is to be run by the Al Maktoum Institute for Arabic and Islamic studies in Scotland on January 2009, will train the university students on national identity and key global issues, with an emphasis on the history, culture, and traditions of Scotland in the contemporary world.

Dr Sulaiman Al Jasem, Vice President of Zayed University, stressed that Al Maktoum Institute focuses on advancing cooperation between both countries.
