Hemaya School for Boys Organises Traditional Cane-Making and Decoration Activity to Promote National Identity

As part of Hemaya School for Boys’ commitment to strengthening national identity and promoting appreciation of Emirati cultural heritage, the school organised a traditional activity entitled “Traditional Cane-Making and Decoration.”

The activity aimed to introduce students to one of the elements associated with Emirati heritage and highlight the historical significance of the traditional cane, known as the khayzaranah, and its connection to traditional performing arts such as Al Ayyala and Al Harbiya.

Students took part in preparing and decorating the traditional canes using a variety of materials and tools, giving them an opportunity to develop their practical skills, accuracy, and concentration while expressing their creativity through designs and decorations inspired by Emirati heritage.

The activity also strengthened students’ connection to their cultural heritage, encouraged teamwork and cooperation, and enriched their understanding of Emirati customs and traditions through an interactive learning experience combining knowledge with hands-on practice.

The initiative forms part of Hemaya School for Boys’ efforts to strengthen national belonging, preserve authentic Emirati heritage, and introduce younger generations to traditional culture through meaningful educational and heritage-based activities.
