Sharjah24: Alya Mohammed Al Suwaidi, President of the Sharjah Documentation House Youth Council, announced the "Sharjah Memory" event, which would be organised in partnership with the Sharjah Youth Council and the Youth Council of the General Command of Sharjah Police. This event aims to raise awareness about the value of records and documentation as a national duty and legacy for future generations.
In an exclusive statement to "Sharjah 24," Alya Al Suwaidi revealed that the forum's activities included two interactive workshops attended by 60 young men and women from various government agencies and institutions. 

The first training discussed the many sorts of documents and their importance in maintaining the emirate's memory, while the second workshop concentrated on oral history, explaining to attendees how to conduct interviews and properly transcribe them.

Alya Mohammed Al Suwaidi expressed her heartfelt appreciation for the pleasant interaction and fruitful collaboration among the participating entities, emphasizing the need to continue these young forums that raise awareness about the importance of documents and documentation in society.

She also emphasised that maintaining documentary heritage is more than just remembering the past; it is a legacy that must be passed along to ensure a thorough and ongoing grasp of the emirate's history and culture.
