Preserving Cultural Identity at Alsama

The best part of our Arabic classes!

Our four centres: Shatila 1, Shatila 2, Bourj 1, and Bourj 2 have been exploring the importance of handicrafts and their role in preserving cultural identity and heritage. Throughout the lessons, our students have been introduced to various traditional handicrafts, discussing which ones may continue or fade in the future. They've also explored the differences between a profession and handicraft, encouraging them to pursue one. On Friday, they organized an expedition showcasing some of the famous handicrafts their region is known for, such as pottery, copperwork, embroidery, and more.
