Miral, the leading creator of immersive destinations and experiences in Abu Dhabi, has partnered with Creative Lab – Creative Media Authority to host its Media Camp at SeaWorld® Yas Island, Abu Dhabi this summer, demonstrating Miral’s unwavering commitment to the community and environment.
Under the theme ‘Digital Media Content Creation’, camp participants from across the UAE aged 12-15 years old were tasked with creating long-form video content centered around marine life that would raise awareness about the importance of protecting the environment and marine life, as well as the significance of sustainable practices.
For over 60 years, SeaWorld has been dedicated to increasing awareness and conservation efforts for marine life through scientific research, educational initiatives, and inspiring a new generation with valuable knowledge and experiences. The immersive experience at SeaWorld Abu Dhabi not only sparked creativity among participants, but also instilled a profound understanding of the importance of marine conservation through the power of storytelling and content creation.
This initiative is part of Miral’s CSR strategy and is aligned with the pillar of Skill Development, Livelihood and Education. Through this pillar, Miral strives to empower the community and the younger generation by providing them with valuable opportunities and experiences that will positively impact their future paths.
