Avid Learning Middle East, an extension of the cultural philanthropy arm of the Essar Group, builds on over a decade of creative collaboration with Dubai, a global hub for cultural exchange and innovation. Officially launched in 2024, Avid Learning Middle East is dedicated to curating multidisciplinary arts and cultural programs that foster dialogue, celebrate heritage, and empower communities.

The platform's journey began in 2012 with a partnership with Art Dubai and continues to make its mark, including its participation in the COР 28 United Nations Climate Change Conference. Over the past year, it has further enriched the region's cultural landscape with a series of innovative programs, including panel discussions, expert-led workshops, and musicals, inspiring communities and creating meaningful cultural connections. Avid Learning M.E. is now KHDA approved.
