Dubai scholarship contest
Winners of the competition will earn a scholarship to pay for their entire schooling at the Bloom World Academy.
The scholarships are worth more than AED1m ($272k).
To win the education jackpot children aged between five and 14 are asked to create a short video that tells the story of what they, or someone they know, would do to make the world a better place, or how they are already helping to build a more positive future.
The video entry could feature the participant, a friend, a teacher, a family member or someone in their wider community who is helping make the world more wonderful by making a positive impact, big or small.
Jaki Ellenby, Executive Marketing Director at Global Village, said, “At Global Village, we believe that the world’s diversity is a limitless source of creativity. January is International Month of Creativity, so celebrating the creativity of the talented young people living in the UAE was a natural fit.
“We are so excited to see how this country’s youth will inspire us all to contribute to creating a more wonderful world.”
The competition is divided into two age group entry categories; Juniors (five to 10) and Seniors (11 to 14).
A Dubai judging panel will review the entries and choose the winners.
One winner will be selected from each category and announced as the winners of the Bloom World Academy scholarships worth more than AED1m.
Bloom World Academy has been making waves in the UAE’s education sector since its launch in August 2022.
It is the first school in the UAE to start the school day at 9am, and offer flexible hours to support family life.
It also offers both a personalised and customised curriculum for each child in Dubai, where they are able design their own timetable.
John Bell, Principal at Bloom World Academy, said: “Bloom World Academy is a truly unique school that genuinely embraces differences. We promise to nurture every aspect of potential through innovation and excellence and this belief is what has fuelled this wonderful partnership with Global Village.
“Through this competition, we hope to inspire young people in the UAE to think outside the box, dig deep into their imaginations to get creative and flourish through hands-on experiences.”
The growing shortage of teachers, however, could pose a serious challenge to the industry’s fast-paced growth, Omar Chihane, founder and CEO of Englease, a UAE-based edtech venture,said.
