Each performance is a product of weeks of preparation, costume making, and cultural learning. 'This vibrant cultural presentation brings together the Filipino school community in the UAE in a celebration of diversity, heritage, and unity through the universal language of dance,' said a school representative. 'Our students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 have prepared an array of cultural performances representing various countries, fostering global awareness and appreciation among the youth.' This event underscores the strong sense of community, creativity, and multicultural understanding that Filipino schools in the UAE continue to promote.
