Dubai Cultural Authority Chair Meets Child Welfare and Education Leaders in Sweden
Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, met with executive leadership of the World Childhood Foundation and toured the Campus Manilla school during an official diplomatic visit to Sweden.
Sheikha Latifa led a high-level United Arab Emirates delegation that included Reem Al Hashimy, Minister of State for International Cooperation; Maryam Al Hammadi, Minister of State and Secretary General of the UAE Cabinet; and Hessa Buhumaid, Director-General of Dubai's Community Development Authority.
The meeting with the World Childhood Foundation focused primarily on the institutional protection of children within digital environments. Officials reviewed current programs aimed at mitigating online risks, developing safe digital infrastructure, and establishing educational frameworks to help children navigate technological platforms securely.
Following the foundation briefing, the delegation visited Campus Manilla to review the institution's educational model. Swedish school administrators briefed the Emirati officials on teaching methodologies designed to integrate critical thinking, student participation, and academic development within a modern curriculum framework.
The bilateral engagements are part of a broader effort by Dubai officials to evaluate international baseline standards in child welfare and early education systems.
