The virtual knitting and crochet circle meetup for the month of December will teach you how to crochet the flag of Qatar.

In this program, we will explore the poetic diwan of Sheikh Jassim, the Founder of Qatar, and the different themes that prevail in his poems, including religion, politics, courage and power. 

Each peoples' cuisine reflects its traditions and social and cultural influences, so every country has its own national dishes. Join us for an Instagram Live cooking demonstration with Rasha Isbeetan, who will show us how to create chicken kabsa, a traditional Qatari dish, in celebration of Qatar National Day.

We invite children and young adults ages 7 to 18 to share with us their photos of the most beautiful landmarks in Qatar.

In this lecture, we will cover the efforts that Qatar is undertaking to protect and maintain the Arabic language. We'll shed the light on the different aspects that the state upholds to maintain Arabic as its official language, including initiatives in the educational, media and legal sectors, as well as other key areas.

In this talk with the owner of the Turath Lawal Instagram account, we will discuss the significance of preserving Qatari heritage through social media.

We are sorry to inform you that due to unforeseen circumstances, the "Robot Showcase: Traditional Dance" event scheduled for 15 December 2020 has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience.
