About the theme:
Our theme for January is JOURNEY.
It was chosen by our Muscat in Oman and illustrated by Salim Al Salami, and is presented by our global partner Adobe.
As we travel through life, everyone you meet is at a different point in their own unique journey. Some of us know where we’re going. While other paths are full of twists, turns, and obstacles thrown in our way. The trick is to embrace the detours and delays. Because there are no shortcuts on a journey of self-discovery or creative expression.
Just please remember: you are not traveling alone.
