Sharjah Falconers Club launches "Falconer in Every Home"

Promoting the culture of falconry among young people

The initiative, which took place, on Sunday, at the club's headquarters, aimed to promote the culture of falconry among young people and preserve this authentic tradition, which represents one of the pillars of the national identity of the United Arab Emirates.

The initiative saw the distribution of several falcons to participating children amid an enthusiastic atmosphere filled with deep-rooted Emirati heritage and values.

Enhancing environmental awareness

Through this event, the club worked to teach children the basics and skills of falconry, in addition to instilling a sense of responsibility and enhancing their environmental awareness in line with the values of respect for nature and preserving its diversity.

A symbol of chivalry

Those in charge of the initiative emphasised that the "Falconer in Every Home" event stems from the club's belief in the importance of spreading the sport of falconry, which is a symbol of chivalry, courage, and belonging to the land. They explained that the club is keen to hold this initiative annually using an integrated educational approach that provides a safe and training environment that enables children to acquire skills through a well-thought-out scientific and practical approach. This contributes to building a new generation of falconers who carry the banner of this heritage with confidence and pride, continuing to pass it on to the future with love and generosity.

Acquiring heritage skill

The participating children and their parents expressed their great happiness with this unique experience, which opened up broad horizons for them to acquire distinct heritage skills that combine the joy of learning with the honour of preserving an integral part of the UAE's history.

Everyone agreed that the initiative represents a golden opportunity to strengthen their connection to identity, nationalism and instilling values of pride in the glorious past in the souls of rising generations, stressing that the Sharjah Falconers Club, through this work, continues its pioneering role in preserving and promoting Emirati heritage as a living and renewable part of daily life in society.
