Qatar Reads, an initiative by Qatar National Library (QNL), has partnered with the Embassy of Italy in Doha to launch a new cultural collaboration under the theme “Art and Creativity: A Journey Through Italy.”

The collaboration, part of Italy Month, will run throughout September and celebrate the Mediterranean nation’s rich artistic and cultural heritage.

As part of Qatar Reads’ Family Reading Program, which distributes curated reading packages to subscribing families across Qatar, the joint initiative seeks to promote community engagement through a series of interactive events and creative activities to foster a love for reading.

It also aims to inspire creativity and curiosity among young readers and their families.

The interactive event is designed to encourage meaningful dialogue and provide valuable insights into global affairs.

The month-long program will conclude on September 27 with a closing event at Bin Jelmood House.

This final gathering will bring together 100 children to reflect on their shared cultural journey and the experiences gained throughout the initiative.

This cultural exchange is a vital tool for fostering mutual understanding and celebrating the universal values that connect us all,” Mohammad Hassan Al Kuwari, Director of Publications and Translations at the Ministry of Culture.

Since its launch, Qatar Reads has endeavored to make reading resources and programs widely accessible across Qatar.
