Umm Al Emarat Park again highlights a great cause by hosting a community event which promotes tolerance and inclusiveness
Umm Al Emarat Park welcomes back ACTVET’s Health and Fitness Fun Festival for its third year from Wednesday, February 20 to Saturday, February 23. This year’s festival theme celebrates ‘people of determination’. Championing this cause at Umm Al Emarat Park, there will be health and fitness enthusiasts, organisations, fitness clubs, nutritionists, and chefs.
Every year, the popular health and lifestyle wellness event attracts crowds for its diverse array of activities and workshops bringing together health and fitness with fun for all ages. There will be live cooking demonstrations, fitness classes, sports including boxing, archery and football, horseback riding and other kid’s activities. This year’s edition with its motto ‘Capability with Every Disability’ focuses on the many ways we can strive towards an inclusive society, by celebrating people without defining them by their disability. The Health and Fitness Fun Festival will spotlight the physical and cognitive impairments that can reduce the abilities of people of determination carrying out daily tasks through awareness sessions.
Rasha Kablawi, Head of Corporate Affairs and Communication, Umm Al Emarat Park says, “We are delighted to host Health and Fitness Fun Festival for its third year in Umm Al Emarat Park. The event highlights important causes which are aligned with our vision as a community partner. Education through recreation has been a core part of our programming and this extends to supporting an inclusive society. Since it is the Year of Tolerance, we aim to mark the values behind tolerance across our programming initiatives throughout the year.”
Umm Al Emarat Park has served as a unifying community destination since its reopening in 2015 supporting several events as a community partner. The park has hosted non-profit organisations, free health awareness campaigns, workshops for children and ‘people of determination’, the ‘National Festival of Tolerance’, and ‘Walk Unified’ which is an initiative part of the 2019 Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi’s programme.
