Office Head's Speech
In the Emirate of Culture, the radiant Emirate of Sharjah, the institutional cultural work finds its most clear expression, shaped and nurtured its elements and scenes by the pioneer of Arab culture, H.H. Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah. This inspiring man enables every thinker and cultural vision to excel in their work, striving to achieve unique accomplishments in this field that requires significant mental preparation to innovate its concepts and applications.
Within the Supreme Council for Family Affairs, the Cultural Office was established to keep pace with the cultural movement of the Emirate, bringing the latest cultural developments and intellectual theses to the council’s team through programs and initiatives that enrich the mind, sparks questions and discussions, providing the opportunity to meet renowned cultural figures who prioritize the community and raising awareness among its members through their work, words, and creativity.
Culture is the elevation of thought, the refinement of emotions, and a reflection of the society’s dynamic movement, activity, and interaction with human issues.
It is a powerful message that reflects the civilization of a society and its ability to progress steadily toward the goals thereof.
We work towards this through strategic objectives inspired by the overarching goals of the council, which is committed to caring for social, health, and educational life, in addition to the intellectual and creative dimensions.
