The BRIDGE Summit announced the signing of a cooperation agreement with the Zayed Authority for People of Determination to launch a pioneering national programme aimed at empowering people of determination in the media sector.

The programme will focus on developing specialised training pathways, producing innovative media tools and launching storytelling initiatives led by people of determination themselves.

The cooperation reflects a shared vision to strengthen the inclusion of people of determination in the media industry by establishing an integrated ecosystem for qualification, development and the creation of real employment opportunities, in line with the highest professional standards and the UAE's objectives of building an inclusive and cohesive society.

The agreement includes the adoption of a governance model featuring a joint high-level steering committee chaired by the National Media Office, with the participation of the Zayed Authority for People of Determination and relevant entities. The committee will approve plans, review performance and ensure the sustainability of initiatives.
