A UAE-initiated conference, that will open in Russia on Thursday, will put the spotlight on education, youth empowerment, food security, and science and technology.
The third Aqdar World Summit will be hosted in Moscow from August 29 until September 1.
Twelve UAE officials, including eight ministers, will take the stage to offer insight on empowering communities through improved education initiatives.
The summit will be held alongside the Moscow Global Forum — an event that focuses on education practice around the world.
Sheikh Saif bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, will deliver the keynote speech during the opening ceremony.
Held under the theme ‘Global Empowerment of Communities: Experiences and Lessons learnt’, Col Dr Abdulrahman Al Mansoori, general co-ordinator for the Aqdar World Summit, previously said it acts as an opportunity to exchange ideas and build links with Russian officials.
“The main goal is for Emirati and Russian organisations to learn from one another,” he said.
“We will share with them the UAE experience in fields like artificial intelligence, education and youth empowerment."
The summit will tackle three main topics during three key sessions this year.
The first, titled ‘Education and National Service: The Fundamentals for Empowering UAE Youth’, aims to highlight the roles and responsibilities of young Emiratis in the UAE.
The second session will focus on sustainability practice in the UAE, looking specifically at how the country is dealing with the global food crisis in light of the growing global population.
While the third session will look at how the UAE has introduced science and technology methods to empower and improve the well-being of its residents.
The summit will feature more than 25 workshops and panel discussions and will also touch on the UAE’s experience in hosting the Special Olympics.

The low down on MPS
What is myofascial pain syndrome?
Myofascial pain syndrome refers to pain and inflammation in the body’s soft tissue. MPS is a chronic condition that affects the fascia (connective tissue that covers the muscles, which develops knots, also known as trigger points).
What are trigger points?
Trigger points are irritable knots in the soft tissue that covers muscle tissue. Through injury or overuse, muscle fibres contract as a reactive and protective measure, creating tension in the form of hard and, palpable nodules. Overuse and sustained posture are the main culprits in developing trigger points.
What is myofascial or trigger-point release?
Releasing these nodules requires a hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure to release muscular shortness and tightness. This eliminates restrictions in connective tissue in orderto restore motion and alleviate pain. Therapy balls have proven effective at causing enough commotion in the tissue, prompting the release of these hard knots.

Teaching your child to save
Pre-school (three - five years)
You can’t yet talk about investing or borrowing, but introduce a “classic” money bank and start putting gifts and allowances away. When the child wants a specific toy, have them save for it and help them track their progress.
Early childhood (six - eight years)
Replace the money bank with three jars labelled ‘saving’, ‘spending’ and ‘sharing’. Have the child divide their allowance into the three jars each week and explain their choices in splitting their pocket money. A guide could be 25 per cent saving, 50 per cent spending, 25 per cent for charity and gift-giving.
Middle childhood (nine - 11 years)
Open a bank savings account and help your child establish a budget and set a savings goal. Introduce the notion of ‘paying yourself first’ by putting away savings as soon as your allowance is paid.
Young teens (12 - 14 years)
Change your child’s allowance from weekly to monthly and help them pinpoint long-range goals such as a trip, so they can start longer-term saving and find new ways to increase their saving.
Teenage (15 - 18 years)
Discuss mutual expectations about university costs and identify what they can help fund and set goals. Don’t pay for everything, so they can experience the pride of contributing.
Young adulthood (19 - 22 years)
Discuss post-graduation plans and future life goals, quantify expenses such as first apartment, work wardrobe, holidays and help them continue to save towards these goals.
