Tuesday afternoon, the club's Board convened for its regular session and gave the green light to its summer program. Dr. Omar Abdel Aziz, the Board's Chairman; Ali Al Mughni, the Vice Chairman; Mohamed Ould Mohamed Salem, a Board Member; Ibrahim Saeed Butti, the Club Administration Director, and Khalifa Al Shimi, in charge of Technical Activities, were present at the session.
Omar Abdel Aziz highlighted the club's commitment, as part of the Department of Culture, to enhancing the cultural landscape by organizing a variety of literary and artistic activities. This involves attracting a select group of writers and intellectuals, and giving them the platform to produce high-quality content on a range of subjects. These efforts align with the club's goal to reflect the Department of Culture's initiatives in Sharjah's Government, fostering an environment that fosters meaningful content, promotes cultural development, nurtures individual talents, and sparks creativity.
