This Majlis Mohamed bin Zayed session explores the concept of wisdom as one of the major cultural concepts that have shaped the fabric of values within society and accompanied every noble human endeavour throughout the history of civilisations. It examines the place of wisdom in religions and cultures as a bridge connecting intellectual awareness with practical conduct through the experiences, reflections, and counsel of wise individuals.

The session also highlights the legacy of wisdom in the UAE, where it has remained a core element of the nation’s narrative since the era of the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. This system of values has connected the past, present, and future and continues to grow among younger generations through the family, upbringing, and education. The session also addresses perspectives on the future of wisdom in an age defined by science, innovation, and artificial intelligence, reaffirming that great civilisations can only be built upon great wisdom.
