Rather than viewing the summer break as time away from learning, Dubai has turned it into an opportunity to strengthen prevention, discipline, safety awareness and positive values among young people through Dubai Police’s Hemaya International Centre. This year, the centre’s Summer Student Programme graduated 1,402 students from 31 nationalities, bringing the total number of graduates since 2018 to 10,792 students representing 175 nationalities. The initiative is part of Dubai’s wider vision of creating a safe, resilient and future ready society by investing in young people through preventive education, practical skills and community partnerships.
