Culture as a Shared Community Responsibility

Ahmed bin Saud Al-Rawahi spoke warmly about the importance of these collaborative efforts. The Ministry believes that culture is a profound responsibility that extends to everyone. Society acts as an active partner in creating culture, not just a passive recipient. The Department of Cultural Activities serves as a bridge between creators and institutions. This wonderful cooperation expands the scope of culture and increases its positive societal impact. The forum is a partnership in the belief that culture flourishes through concerted efforts. Cultural initiatives represent the true voice of society when awareness turns into positive action.
