Participants in the Team Building and Bonding Workshop also learn about the concepts of teamwork and the roles of individuals in the workplace, enhancing their ability to integrate and be productive within various organisations.
Developing effective communication skills
As part of developing effective communication skills, participants acquire tools that enhance their ability to express themselves, listen, and interact constructively within work teams through practical exercises that simulate real-life work situations.
The Professional Well-being Workshop also addresses challenges that new employees may face, such as work pressures, time management, and prioritisation.
Achieving professional excellence
Participants meet with a group of young Emiratis working in the private sector to learn about and benefit from their professional experiences. This phase also includes individual mock interviews with human resources specialists, giving each participant the opportunity to showcase their skills in an environment that simulates actual interviews and receive direct feedback to improve performance.
The training is one of the core pillars adopted by Tatweer as part of the Masar programme, which aims to prepare a generation of young talent capable of achieving professional excellence and contributing effectively to the advancement of society, reflecting the state's vision to enhance the status of youth in various vital sectors.

The homegrown F&B concept in Abu Dhabi built its brand identity around mindful living, sustainable design and exceptional artisanal food, hoping to build brand love and loyalty through a nurturing space for connection and community engagement. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Foode 🇦🇪 Essa Ali (@ Stakeholders involved in the Seed & Bloom launch campaign The brand launch and activation campaign was brought to life in partnership with TGP International, which was responsible for concept and brand development, interior design and ongoing oversight of operations, marketing, events, PR, and advertising for Seed & Bloom. The brand is now entirely operated and managed by TGP International. Meanwhile, Katch International was tasked with generating media coverage for the venue and coordinating influencer visits during the opening phase. Me:Mo provided auxiliary marketing support during the three-month launch period, including content creation and social media management. Pyong Sumaria handled the photography for F&B and social, while Gavriil Papadiotis handled photography for the interior design elements.

As a result, the campaign was rolled out through social media, traditional public relations and media outreach, community events, influencer marketing and through its website. The campaign unfolded in three distinct phases, starting with early awareness efforts before progressing into targeted media and influencer engagements, and then culminating in highly community-focused activations of workshops and activities, which set the direction for the venue's ongoing programme of experiences offered to its guests.

Sharaf DG – one of the leading electronic retailers in the Middle East with presence in the UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Egypt and Saudi Arabia – has revealed an omnichannel marketing campaign to mark its 20th anniversary in the region. Through the campaign – which included everything from surprise mall activations, digital takeovers, newspaper ads, influencer-led social media buzz, bank collaborations, as well as exclusive online offers and subscription offers – the brand aimed to 'go all out' to thank its customers and reaffirm its future-forward focus in the region. The ambitious, emotion-first marketing campaign was launched across the UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Egypt, and for the first time in Saudi Arabia, signalling the brand's bold expansion plan in the region. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sharaf DG (@sharafdguae_official) Keeping customer love at the heart of its celebrations, the Sharaf DG 360-degree campaign was designed to surprise, reward, and re-engage, no matter where or how customers chose to shop. The brand introduced DG Man, a mystery gift-bearer, who became one of the most talked-about parts of the mall activations. The disguised team member surprised unsuspecting mall-goers and even employees, with a choice between a mystery box and assured vouchers. What began as a marketing idea quickly turned into a social media moment.
