The significance of plants in Arabic oral storytelling, the necessity for a uniform Arab cultural database recording plant, and the role of plants in Arab folklore and imagination were all discussed throughout the sessions.
Participants highlighted the significance of deeply rooted plants in literature and history, highlighting the symbolic value of these plants and their long history.
Several publications that contribute to the enrichment of Arab heritage were released on this day, and there were also storytelling sessions for youngsters and an emphasis on the preservation of natural greenery.
The ghaf tree, a symbol of the UAE's history and culture, was the inspiration for the creative works presented by Ghaf Publications. The event as a whole was an appreciation-building lesson for the vital role plants play in Arab storytelling and heritage.
