Sharjah Ramadan Majlis hosts cultural, artistic and sports figures

The Sharjah Ramadan Council this year, being held from 3 to 5 April, includes three engaging sessions with the participation of leading Arab and international cultural, artistic and sports figures. The audience will also have a date with Shrabani Basu, author of the book and now a hit Hollywood film "Victoria and Abdul." The author will sign copies of her popular book for the audience. 

There will also be exciting contests testing the knowledge and interests of the audience, offering attractive prizes, in partnership with Sharjah Cooperative Society, Grand Stores and Lulu Supermarkets.

Tariq Saeed Allay, Director General of the Sharjah Government Media Bureau, said, “the Sharjah Ramadan Majlis constitutes a cultural and knowledge communication that allows a free exchange of views on most prominent issues and concerns of society through proposals by leading experts and leaders in various sectors. We are keen to be part of building a conscious social thought that looks at life positively and cognitively, year after year.”

The SGMB Director General added, "In this year's Ramadan Majlis, we look forward to keeping pace with the changes in sports that the region has witnessed in recent years. We have chosen topics that enjoy huge public interest and social engagement such as football, the movement of social networking sites, the content industry and creative production.”

Sports session – Focus on football 
The first session, Monday, entitled "The Offensive and Defensive Line... Football between Results and the Pleasure of Performance" discusses the impact of training plans on football, the performance of players and their roles on the field, and the extent to which offensive and defensive forms of play reflect on club fans.
