Could flexi-work change your summer?

from The Agenda · host Dubai Eye 103.8

If you work for the government - it's good news, because Dubai is bringing back its flexible summer strategy for the third year. That means reduced working hours, with shorter weeks and remote working options aimed at improving wellbeing during the hottest months. Plus, Abu Dhabi has unveiled Dar al Funoon, a landmark performing arts centre designed by starchitect Frank Gehry.  Opening in 2030, it's set to become the UAE's permanent home for opera, ballet and theatre, but what impact will it have on grassroots art?  Meanwhile - with the UAE introducing a social media ban for under-15's - what do teenagers think about the proposals?  And in Dubai's quest to become the world's most civilised city - it is preparing to introduce new official guidelines on public behaviour and celebrations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
