Aldar has teamed up with the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) to ensure the continuation of after-school extracurricular activities for students across the emirate.
In a move to support local communities, Aldar is offering alternative spaces within its extensive portfolio of retail, hospitality, and residential properties, providing flexible environments for students to engage in educational and recreational activities.
The initiative is helping to sustain student engagement, community wellbeing, and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) resilience while distance learning is in place across Abu Dhabi schools.
The partnership supports the continued delivery of extracurricular activities that play a crucial role in student development, helping to maintain engagement and balanced growth alongside distance learning.
Activities include sports, creative programs, and youth development offerings, ensuring students and families continue to have access to structured, high-quality experiences during periods of distance learning.
Salwa Al Maflahi, Executive Director of Sustainability and Community Outreach at Aldar, said that, “At Aldar, we are committed to supporting the continuity of learning and enrichment opportunities for students, while also supporting the SMEs that play a vital role in delivering these programs.”
“In collaboration with ADEK, we are mobilizing our asset base to respond to community needs, helping to ensure that communities remain connected, active, and supported while distance learning is in place. This initiative reflects our broader focus on creating long-term social value and building resilient, inclusive communities across Abu Dhabi,” Al Maflahi added.
According to the statement, the initiative reflects Aldar’s ongoing commitment to supporting communities while contributing to a resilient and adaptive education and SME ecosystem across Abu Dhabi.
