Abu dhabi: Abu Dhabi Awards concluded a recognition tour to honour the winners of the Schools Competition, organised in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, for their efforts in supporting the awards nominations campaign and promoting a culture of giving and community spirit.

According to Emirates News Agency, the tour included visits to Al Mesk KG, Zayed Education Complex - Mohamed bin Zayed, Jewairyah bint Al Harith Cycle 1 School, Al Qariah Cycle 1 School, Madar International School, and Mezyad School. These schools were selected from 50 participating institutions across all seven emirates. This year's initiative received more than 15,000 nominations, more than double the number submitted in the previous edition.

The honoured schools demonstrated high levels of engagement, with nomination rates exceeding 100 percent of the number of eligible students. Throughout the academic year, these schools delivered a range of awareness activities and interactive programmes that encouraged student participation in the nominations campaign. These efforts also raised awareness about the importance of recognising individuals whose contributions positively impact their communities.

The tour is part of Abu Dhabi Awards' ongoing efforts, in partnership with the Ministry of Education, to strengthen the Awards' presence within the educational environment and inspire students to embrace the values of giving and social responsibility. Through such initiatives, the Award continues to promote a culture of recognising individuals whose humanitarian contributions and community achievements create a lasting positive impact, while helping nurture a generation committed to serving society.
