Ithraa offers more than a festival
King Abdulaziz Cultural Center in Dhahran has been dedicated to promoting a reading culture through various activities throughout the year, including book exhibitions, exchange programs, and initiatives encouraging reading. Additionally, the center has environmental initiatives such as planting a tree for every book read inside the center. The center also hosted the "Iqra Enriching Forum," which brought together 30 readers from 13 Arab countries, with the aim of developing reading, writing, and creativity skills. The forum featured a diverse range of activities such as lectures, workshops, and discussions on topics like literature, novels, translation, and philosophy. Its goal was to prepare participants for the final ceremony of the largest Arab reading competition, which has expanded since its launch in 2013 and now involves over 800,000 participants. The overall objective is to diversify the reading culture and make it more inclusive.
