UAE Golden Jubilee: Public invited to take ‘First Step’ towards the next 50 years

Dubai: As part of the ‘Year of the 50th’ celebrations, the UAE’s Golden Jubilee Committee has announced its latest initiative, ‘First Step’, which invites those who call the UAE home to write down their first steps towards achieving their dreams and goals that they envision in the next 50 years.

Participants can submit their First Step using a custom template available on the Year of the 50th website. By writing and committing to those first steps, the UAE public is thus encouraged to envision themselves as key contributors and builders of the nation in the near future and throughout the next 50 years.

The ‘first steps’ will subsequently be published online as the "blueprints" of the UAE’s future. The Year of the 50th ends in March.

First Step follows the ‘Letters to the Future’ initiative, which called upon all those who consider the UAE home to write a letter to their future selves.
