The Jamati Institutions and Global Encounters are delighted to inform the Jamat that the Global Encounters Festival 2025 will take place from 20 to 27 July next year, in Dubai, UAE.

In line with Mawlana Hazar Imam’s aspiration, the GE Festival is dedicated to bringing out the best in our global Jamat, showcasing both established and emerging talent while cultivating the next wave of artistic and athletic excellence. This is an exciting opportunity to recognise, inspire, and harness the true potential of our community. 

In addition to showcasing our Jamat’s creative and athletic excellence, environmental sustainability will be a central theme leading up to, and during the GE Festival in Dubai. Conforming with Islam’s teachings that human beings are caretakers of Allah’s creation, we must take responsibility to care for our environment and leave the world in a better condition than we found it. Over the coming year, GE will have opportunities and programmes available for everyone to join in this journey towards sustainability.

We invite every member of the Jamat to be part of this remarkable experience, whether participating in-person in Dubai or virtually from around the world. Explore the Global Encounters Festival website to learn how you can get involved.

Join us next July as we celebrate artistic and athletic talent, diversity, and the spirit of unity that connects us all. Mark your calendars for an unforgettable experience at the Global Encounters Festival 2025!
