The initiative, part of the Year of Community 2025, aims to empower youth through a national and community-focused experience that blends physical activity with authentic Emirati heritage while reinforcing the role of the community in supporting national identity.

The mission was announced during a press conference in Abu Dhabi, where organisers outlined the training phases, selection criteria and the physical and heritage skills gained during a four-month programme undertaken by around 500 young participants from 35 nationalities.

The mission will begin on 8th December, with participants divided into five teams across 15 camps, concluding on 22nd December.
