Peekapak Expands UAE-Aligned Wellbeing Curriculum to Strengthen Cultural Identity and Student Success

New bilingual lessons connect wellbeing skills to Emirati heritage, values, and national priorities

ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, December 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Peekapak, an award winning wellbeing education organization has expanded its UAE-aligned wellbeing curriculum, offering schools a comprehensive set of bilingual lessons that merge the teaching of social-emotional skills with Emirati culture, identity, and values.

Designed for students from Kindergarten to Grade 12, each lesson pairs a core wellbeing competency with a cultural theme that resonates deeply with local communities. The integrated teaching approach supports stronger student wellbeing while reinforcing a shared sense of belonging and pride in the UAE’s history and future.

“Students learn best when they see themselves in what they are learning,” said Ami Shah, Co-Founder and CEO of Peekapak. “Our UAE curriculum connects wellbeing skills to meaningful cultural stories and traditions that build national identity, purpose, and connection.”

UAE-Specific Wellbeing Themes
The curriculum includes lessons such as:
• Self-Regulation and Calligraphy
• Gratitude and Ramadan
• Respect and Family Ties

With more lessons to come in 2026, such as:
• Empathy and Emirati Poetry Tradition
• Optimism and Emirati Innovation
• Courage and Falconry as a National Symbol

These lessons can be delivered in English or Arabic and include classroom routines, activities and reflective prompts.

Aligning to UAE Schools’ Needs
The UAE-aligned units support:
• ADEK Wellbeing Policy
• Moral Education Framework
• National identity and cultural appreciation
• Values-based learning and character development
• Whole-school wellbeing improvement efforts

“Schools want wellbeing to feel relevant and lived, not an add-on,” said Dr. Jenna Santyr, Director of Education at Peekapak. “By anchoring skills to local traditions and values, students are able to apply these lessons in daily life with confidence and pride.”

Designed for Flexibility and Impact
Schools may use the UAE units:
• As part of year-long wellbeing programming
