The cultural salon of the Qatari Forum for Authors offers a wide range of cultural, awareness, and educational events and activities at the 32nd Doha International Book Fair and will continue during the whole period of the fair activities.
The salon showcases over 20 seminars in various fields with the engagement of dozens of academics, researchers, and professionals, along with 17 panel discussions that highlight cultural, societal, technological, and educational issues in collaboration with many professional entities in the State of Qatar.
In addition, the salon will display seven lectures, some of them are devoted to raising awareness while others are purely cultural and stimulating to be delivered by a contingent of media professionals and experts in multiple fields to nurture the cultural venues and raise awareness pertaining to an array of immediate and critical issues.
The forum targets all segments and age groups of the community and aims to promote culture to give impetus to the culture's engine and enhance the cultural movement the country is experiencing.
Within the cultural salon, the forum is set to launch nearly 80 new releases in all literary, scientific, religious, legal, and academic fields for Qatari writers and those residing in Qatar that were previously issued inside and outside Qatar.
Meanwhile, the forum's director Dr. Aisha Jassim Al Kuwari said the forum has been keen to showcase a comprehensive and integrated program that covers all aspects of culture and observes intellectuals' interests in Qatar with their overall specializations.
The forum tried to engage many entities in the salon to convert it into an exclusive venue for introducing institutions, entities and active and influential centers in the State of Qatar to create an opportunity for forging future partnerships with everyone who shares visions and objectives beyond the activity of sharing ideas and opinions, introducing writers and the updates on the cultural scene, Al Kuwari added.
