| Showcasing UAE's culture has always been one of the most enjoyable activities for the student's of Winchester. It brings out a sense of pride within the students and increase their love for the country they are currently living in. Therefore, the P.S.H.C.E.E. department of Winchester decided to hold a graffiti competition which would allow the students to showcase the culture of UAE through art. The aim of the event was to bring together 6 students from each house (Fire, Water, Earth and Wind) in order to use their creative talents to create a masterpiece which will adorn the 'graffiti wall' of the school. The students were expected to showcase the following through their art work: 1) Landmarks and buildings of UAE 2) Culture of UAE (clothes, sports, and leisure) 3) Leadership in UAE 4) Tourism in UAE 5) Development of UAE 6) Future of UAE Below are some of the pictures from the competition: |
As His Highness Sheikh Zayed himself once quoted, "He who does not know his past cannot make the best of his present and future, for it is from the past that we learn." And through this competition we are hoping to provide the students with an opportunity to see the past of UAE along with its cultural origins and how it had aided UAE in becoming what it is today.
