The Ministry of Culture and the Syrian National Welfare Foundation signed an agreement for national cultural cooperation. This agreement marks a new phase in the partnership between the public sector and active civil society organizations. The agreement aims to unify national efforts to transform cultural work into a comprehensive development project, based on the shared belief that culture is a cornerstone in building individuals and strengthening national identity. The agreement includes provisions for cultural, educational, and training programs in all Syrian governorates, with a particular focus on rural areas. It also aims to activate the role of cultural centers, theaters, and libraries to support children's programs and empower youth. Furthermore, it encompasses the protection of Syria's tangible and intangible heritage and opens avenues for external cultural cooperation to promote Syrian cultural identity in regional and international forums.
