Abstract EN

This paper aims to identify the concept of "social creativity", the areas through which this type of creativity is applied, and its most essential aspects and recognized position in the UAE, especially during the extraordinary circumstances of the coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic.

This paper also aims to shed light on a set of innovative initiatives implemented by the federal government and the local communities’ agencies that aimed at overcoming challenges pertaining to the COVID 19 pandemic.

One good example of these initiatives included the detection of COVID-19 using sniffer dogs, established by the Ministry of Interior.

The other example is the United Arab Emirates University and its role in developing a simulation tool for the spread of epidemics to help community members understand the effects of social distancing and isolation on the development of the COVID19.

Additionally, the “Farigna” project, by the Abu Dhabi Municipality, which created a unique platform that has contributed to enhance the community cohesion and participatory design with community members, and the “Your Face Your Passport” project from the Federal Authority for Identity and Nationality, Dubai Airports, and Emirates Airlines.
