• To receive a Certificate of Participation.
• To plant indigenous trees under their name in a public space in UAE on 21st December 2021.

Hence, artists can use art to make a statement that moves viewers into action. Art also helps with mental and motor skill development amongst younger children and hence in recent years, there has been great interest among educators in understanding and further developing links between arts based learning and human development. As this is one of the most popular events of EEG, more than 350 schools across the UAE take part each year. In 2020, students were given the opportunity to creatively express their views on the following topics, “Your Dream World”, “Your Vision for UAE 2030” and “Our World 30 years from now”.
These programmes contribute towards the fulfillment of the UN SDG no. 7, 11, 13 and 15 which focus on affordable and clean energy, sustainable cities and communities, climate action and life on land respectively.

Not enough shelf space? A request from the all-new Amity Community Library…
Do you have stacks of books in your home that no one reads anymore? Has someone in your household outgrown Harry Potter and moved on, leaving their formerly beloved collection to gather dust? Do you wish you could share your love of reading with the rest of the Amity community? Do you wish you had access to a wide variety of books that other students love?
If the answer to any of these questions is a yes, then we have a request: donate your old books to the Amity Community Library, the place where old books are given a new lease of life! Your well-thumbed texts will become part of our growing collection of books sourced from the student community, where they can then be borrowed, free of charge.
We are opening this exciting new library area in the Secondary School in the very near future, and your books can be a part of making it a big success.
All necessary measures will be taken to maintain Covid 19 safety, and the books will be screened for inappropriate content.
Students can hand books in to the library, or to Mr. Ferris in 2203 or 2209.
