The convening of the forum affirms Sharjah’s vision of supporting the cultural movement and consolidating its position as a beacon of thought and creativity, through initiatives that enhance the role of literature and knowledge in building individuals and society.

The event featured dialogue sessions and artistic and cultural performances that explored the role of the written word in fostering national identity and emphasised the importance of writing as a bridge for human and cultural communication across generations.

Sheikha Jawaher was present at the opening session of a forum called “Harun Al Rashid: Bridging Reality and Imaginative Views.”

This session explored the Abbasid era, a period regarded as one of the most vibrant moments in Arab and Islamic history.

Researcher Awad Bin Hasoum Al Darmaki provided an insightful look into this period, highlighting its significant cultural and intellectual contributions.

Al Darmaki started his talk by taking the audience on a thoughtful journey through key cultural and social influences that shaped a significant period in history.
