BeforeHeritage is revived through
employment with GWU or ADACH
Artisans can only make money through government donations
Government can only help by giving financial aids
You need to know someone to get a booth in an exhibition
You need to know someone to benefit from government initiatives
Only Emiratis buy Emirati products because they understand it, and the
best buyers are the Sheikhs
AfterHeritage is revived through product
adaptation to market
Artisans are entrepreneurs who can make money depending on the quality
of their product
Government develops the skills of artisans to help them reach their
potential
You need to have a genuine product to get a booth and make good sales
You need to have a strong will to improve to benefit from gov. initiatives
It is the mission of every Emirati to educate and spread the treasures of
our national identity.
