Within the UAE Pavilion in Expo Osaka 2025 and under the theme “From Earth to Ether”, the Ministry of Community Empowerment hosted a roundtable discussion entitled “Designing Empowerment Frameworks for Communities of the Future.” The session brought together experts, officials, and civil society leaders from multiple countries to explore innovative approaches to building thriving communities grounded in shared values.
Her Excellency Noor Abulhoul, Acting Assistant Undersecretary Social Welfare and Empowerment Sector at the Ministry of Community Empowerment, highlighted the significance of this global event as a platform to showcase the UAE’s developmental and civilizational achievements across all sectors, with a particular focus on human capital development. She underscored that true empowerment starts with the individual, extending its positive impact throughout community, and emphasized that the nation’s authentic values serve as the cornerstone for building a sustainable and prosperous future. H.E. underscored the UAE’s transition from a traditional social support model to an empowerment-centered approach focused on future readiness. These strategic plans and pioneering initiatives aim to build a cohesive and resilient society, unlock the potential of its people, foster a strong sense of belonging and a culture of giving, and create inclusive environments that nurture talent and inspire creativity.
The dialogue aligned with one of Expo Osaka 2025’s sub-theme “SDGs+ Beyond Future Society for Life”. It highlighted how shared cultural values and collective responsibility are essential for strengthening social cohesion and fostering inclusive, empowered communities.
