The
Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (Dubai Culture), the Emirate’s dedicated
entity for culture and heritage, is participating in the 'Your Old Devices for
Those in Need’ initiative launched by Dubai Municipality and Mohammed bin
Rashid Charity and Humanitarian Establishment.
The
campaign aims to repair old computers, accessories or any other electronic
devices unused by Dubai Culture for recycling and reuse, thus contributing to
the sustainable development of the UAE. By donating the refurbished devices to
charity and educational institutes in the country and abroad, Dubai Culture is
also contributing to the society by touching the lives of the underprivileged.
Moza
Shaiban Suwaidan, Director of Information Technology at the Dubai Culture &
Arts Authority, said, "Through our participation in the campaign, we are
underlining the need to recycle old electronic devices that otherwise lead to
environmental degradation. Further, we are fulfilling a social responsibility
by conserving nature and also supporting the people in need. These refurbished,
ready-to-use IT and electronic appliances will contribute to enhancing their
lives, especially in promoting education."
Dubai
Culture collaborated with Dubai Municipality’s Personal Computer Refurbishment
Centre (PCRC) to refurbish over 300 devices including old computers, accessories
or other electronic devices that will be used beneficially by educational,
social and charity organisations.
It
is committed to launching and supporting distinctive and constructive
initiatives that promote humanitarian values. The Authority also works to raise
awareness on the importance of environment preservation though measures such as
paper recycling, environment friendly disposal of used ink cartridges and many
more.
Dubai
Culture celebrates the Emirati artistic heritage of Dubai and its vibrant contemporary
arts environment, while offering a conducive environment to nurture and
strengthen artistic talent in the Emirate. –End-
