With the aim of building bridges of human and cultural communication between peoples, and contributing to building a thoughtful and aware personality among participants, through openness to diverse cultures, acquiring new experiences in an educational and interactive context, and introducing them to Qatari culture and traditions, the Ministry of Culture, represented by the ministry's Nomas Center, is organising a cultural trip to the Republic of South Africa, during the period from August 1 to 9, under the theme science, literature and the company of Majid for the age group of 9-14 years.
Marking the occasion, Director of the Nomas Center Ghanem Abdulrahman Al Kuwari said that this trip, which brings together a group of children from various age groups, builds on previous trips the center has organized to Norway, Malaysia, and Uzbekistan. The goal is to learn about other cultures and exchange cultures between us and them by organizing trips and visits to the most prominent heritage sites in South Africa.
He said that such trips provide children with various skills, particularly self-reliance and the discovery of an aspect of South African culture. He indicated that the trip aims to promote cultural exchange and enrich the participants' historical knowledge. He also addressed the schedule of events that the center will organize in South Africa, which includes field visits to a number of landmarks, in addition to holding heritage workshops. He highlighted that the schedule of events is diverse and comprehensive, aiming to provide participating students with the greatest possible knowledge and exposure to the cultural aspects of South Africa.
The trip programme includes field visits to several of Cape Town's key cultural and tourist attractions, including the Castle of Good Hope, one of Africa's oldest colonial forts, and the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art, which celebrates modern African art.
Participants will also visit the Cape Town Science Center, where they will engage in interactive science experiences that foster critical thinking and exploration.
