Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance, said that organising such workshops is a unique opportunity to train numerous Arab youth on how to benefit from social media platforms, to deliver their message to their target audience.
He also stressed that the participation of experts from Twitter provided participants with a clear vision of the capacities of social media platforms and how to utilise them to achieve their desired outcomes, to promote the values of tolerance and human fraternity and combat extremism and hatred.
The ministry will organise such workshops through cooperating with social media sites, which have become key platforms for the youth from around the world, he added.
These workshops are the start of a prolonged partnership to promote the values of tolerance, which was embodied by the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and adopted by the UAE’s leadership and people, Sheikh Nahyan further added.
He then highlighted the importance of providing the participants of such workshops with good knowledge of tolerance and human fraternity, which is constantly offered by the ministry while praising the commitment and determination of the workshop’s participants and their desire to improve their information and technology skills.
