The Saudi initiative “Arab Week at UNESCO” has enabled 22 participating Arab countries to showcase their rich cultural heritage in a welcoming platform that fosters Arab and international cultural and civilizational work. The initiative contributes to the development of education, culture, and science at both regional and global levels.
For Arab Week, which was organized for the first time in the history of Arab countries’ cooperation with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Saudi National Commission for Education, Culture, and Science exerted significant efforts to support the participants’ presentations and highlight the harmony between the diverse cultures of the Arab world. The event marks a celebration of the Arab world’s rich cultural heritage through various literature and art.
