Dubai, 9th July 2013– In an ever expanding multicultural society the biggest challenge that expats face is to familiarise themselves with the foreign culture and customs of the host country. With Ramadan just around the corner, Eton Institute, the UAE’s largest training and development centre, set about explaining the culture of the Holy month through a series of festive rewards.

 

The festival started with Free Ramadan Etiquette Workshops at both the Dubai and Abu Dhabi branches. The workshop was conducted in partnership with Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Centre for Cultural Understanding and Dubai Knowledge Village.A total of 80 people attended the workshops and left feeling enriched and enlightened about the Holy month. This was followed by Free Arabic Courses at both the Dubai and Abu Dhabi branches, which saw more than 300 people scrambling to get the limited seats. All those who could not avail the above two opportunities now have the chance to download themselves a Free Ramadan App courtesy of Eton Institute.

 

“We have received an overwhelming response for all the events that were planned and prepared in the Spirit of Ramadan to welcome the Holy month. The demand is huge for learning more about the Arabic culture and hence it was logical and exciting for us to develop and offer the Free Ramadan Application packed with cultural tips, daily phrases, glossary of terms and much more to help educate expats about the Arabic culture. The Free Ramadan App is also of great use to all the Muslims that will fast during the Holy month as it contains the Iftar timings and prayer timings which is of great importance,” commented Sakina Amerjee, Marketing Assistant at Eton Institute.
