Abu Dhabi, UAE— May 2025—Miral, the leading creator of immersive destinations and experiences in Abu Dhabi, in collaboration with Zayed Higher Organisation for People of Determination and SeaWorld® Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, hosted 'My Community Canvas,' a heartwarming initiative celebrating family, inclusion and marine life through art. Organised to mark the International Day of Family, the initiative underscores Miral's commitment to art and culture, outlined in its Group CSR strategy and in alignment with the UAE's Year of Community 2025.
Held at Seaworld Abu Dhabi, the event welcomed 26 people of determination from Zayed Higher Organisation for People of Determination, as well as visitors of the theme park, to take part in a collaborative art experience session inspired by the wonders of the ocean. Participants worked together to create a large-scale community canvas, illustrating scenes of joy, family, and underwater beauty through vibrant colours and imaginative scenes.
This initiative is a celebration of creativity, inclusion, and the deep bonds that connect us as a community,' said Taghrid AlSaeed, Executive Director of Marketing, Communications & Events at Miral.

We are proud to have partnered with Zayed Higher Organisation for People of Determination to create an experience that sparks imagination and reflects what we truly stand for at Miral: creating meaningful moments that make a real impact.'
During the session, participants were encouraged to envision a joyful day spent with their families at SeaWorld Abu Dhabi by depicting scenes of playful moments near the ocean, magical marine animal encounters, or simply enjoying time together surrounded by the wonders of the sea. As a symbolic gesture of unity, each participant also imprinted their hand on the canvas, signifying a personal pledge to the values of One Ocean, One Community.
