The project “My Heritage...The Secret of My Genuineness” is aimed at boosting national identity in students, focusing on Islam and the Arabic language as main pillars of national identity, and emphasising the important role assumed by schools in shaping the national identity. Khalil Saqer bin Gharib, Dubai Customs’ Director of Corporate Communication and Head of National Identity, said: “Dubai Customs pays utmost attention to linking national identity to its line of work. In 2015, we launched the initiative ‘My Nation.. My Identity’ to host events that support and nurture national identity.”
