THE CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMME

In view of promoting the cultural exchange among the Pan Arab and foreign countries, the Department of Culture & Information initiated Arab cultural weeks hoping to consolidate the cultural ties and relation among various Pan Arab nations. The Department aims to create opportunities for exchange of thoughts and experiences among its intellectuals and experts.

Requests from other Arab countries to organize cultural weeks in those countries are welcomed by the Department. This programme open to not only to the Pan Arab countries but also to other Islamic and foreign countries. The Government of Sharjah believes that there is a real need and desire for such an international cultural exchange programme in order to revive human values and cultural tolerance especially in the context of the present situation

The Department of Culture & Information had signed agreements with authorities of many Arab and foreign countries for organizing cultural exchange programmes. The agreement covers exchange of publications, conducting exhibitions, organizing cultural meetings & dialogues in addition to planning of intellectual and scientific programmes.
