Abu Dhabi, UAE, 13th Dec 2019: Abu Dhabi Government Media Office (ADGMO) has launched Abu Dhabi Story, a new platform designed to grow community spirit and share the untold stories waiting to be retold.
The platform will showcase stories sourced from Abu Dhabi via Instagram, Twitter, and Youtube, offering a window into the lives of Abu Dhabi’s multicultural community. All the stories will show people pushing the boundaries in exciting ways, including citizens and residents sharing their favorite places or aspects of the city, celebrations of diversity, inclusion, and community amongst cultures building a life for their families and engaging in programs and activities.
The first features on the platform include Dorian Rogers, an educator who started Rooftop Rhythms, a spoken-word poetry night connecting members of the Abu Dhabi community through their love for prose.
