In a celebration of our differences, the diverse team representing cultures and countries from around the globe with widespread backgrounds, placed the focus of this effort firmly on Unity; embracing and spreading the message of the key Emirati values of Diversity and Tolerance.
The team stopped at universities, schools, and other symbolic locations in each of the Emirates to deliver lectures, panels, interactive engagements, and workshops on a range of topics that all touched on positivity, tolerance, diversity, inclusion, and the power of humans working together for the greater good – delivered through the unifying medium of sports and cycling.
