Still, using the concept of open innovation and adapting the idea of participatory culture with flexibility and good planning, the General Women's Union [GWU] was able to develop and launch an extraordinary virtual event, such as: The first virtual forum between the UAE and Saudi Arabia, "Safe Family, Safe Community." The discussion highlighted the importance of exchanging experiences and expertise in the area of family guidance. It is planning to enable families in both countries to address developments and create a safe and stable community. It comprised four discussion sessions held remotely over two days in an unusual way that the 10,000 attendees and participants feel they are in one place.Moreover, GWU launched the first virtual market for productive families, "MATJERY," which spares 2000 shoppers the burden of leaving their homes and enables them to buy whatever they want online with the ability to speak directly to shop owners.Generally speaking, it's essential to adopt ICTs tools to build innovative solutions. We hope our experiences will encourage other entities to create the new normal of making the event via expanding the ICTs Tools.
