2026: The UAE Year of the Family

Date Posted:Fri, 9th Jan 2026

As the UAE marks 2026 as the Year of the Family, it is a timely reminder that strong families sit at the heart of strong communities and a sustainable economy.

At the British Chamber of Commerce Dubai (BCCD), our Education & Initiatives Programme is built around this very principle , supporting young people, educators, and businesses to work together in preparing the next generation for the world of work.

Through internships, school engagement, mentoring, and skills-based initiatives, we help families feel confident that their children are developing not only academic knowledge, but also the values that matter most: confidence, responsibility, collaboration, and resilience.

By connecting education with business, and learning with real-world experience, we are proud to contribute to the UAE’s vision for family growth, long-term stability, and future readiness under the National Family Growth Agenda 2031.

If you would like to get involved in shaping opportunities for young people and supporting families through education and enterprise, we would like to hear from you.
