The event attracted participation from various embassies, including those of France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Mexico, Colombia, and Burkina Faso.

NAS Abu Dhabi’s dedication to global understanding and cultural appreciation is evident through its comprehensive World Languages Programme.
This programme includes French, Spanish, German, and Mandarin alongside English, the primary language of instruction, and Arabic, part of the UAE Ministry of Education curriculum. Starting in the Foundation Stage, young learners embark on an extraordinary linguistic journey, introducing them to these languages.

By learning different languages, students develop empathy, cultural awareness, and a global mindset—essential qualities in today’s interconnected world.
This early immersion helps students become more adaptable, open-minded, and better prepared to engage with diverse cultures and perspectives.
Feedback from parents, students, and guests was overwhelmingly positive. Embassy representatives expressed their gratitude for the invitation and admiration for the school’s efforts in promoting multicultural understanding.
NAS Abu Dhabi’s World Languages Day was a resounding success, showcasing the power of community and the importance of fostering global connections.
