Dubai: Shaikha Manal Bint Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum in her capacity as President of Dubai Women's Establishment (DWE) has mandated the inaugural Arab Women's Leadership Forum to hold specialised workshops for Dubai students and working women, including a focus group on DWE's five-year multi-pronged strategy.
The Arab Women's Leadership Forum, scheduled to be held on January 13-14 at the Monarch Hotel in Dubai, will bring together a distinguished quorum of women achievers from around the Arab world.
Themed "Women and Leadership: Global Trends and Local Innovations", the forum will serve a motivational purpose, spotlighting the achievements of select Arab women to a mainly young audience.
Aisha Al Suweidi, Director of Women's Leadership Development at DWE, said Shaikha Manal, wife of Shaikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Presidential Affairs, has instructed the forum's organising committee to allow young talents of Dubai to interact with key speakers.
Al Suweidi revealed that the forum will include a set of specialised workshops, as students from Dubai will participate in a workshop aiming at developing their leadership skills, while working women will participate in another executive development workshop.
Along with these activities, a focus group will join a team of Dubai Women Establishment and key women's leaders and guests to discuss DWE's five-year multi-pronged strategy and the establishment's planned projects.
The Dubai Women's Establishment announced its strategy earlier this year, validating its commitment to work towards enhancing women's participation in the country's advancement.
