Qatar National Library, in partnership with Hamad Bin Khalifa University, has announced the launch of its newest cultural initiative, the "Cultural Salon". This would be a platform that promotes dialogue and communication with subject-matter experts, with the aim of creating a positive atmosphere that enriches culture and raises public awareness through a series of periodic events.

The first event, to be held on March 13, will be a discussion about the effects that the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 has had on Qatar and the region. The session will be moderated by Saad Mohammed Al-Rumaihi, President of the Qatar Press Center, and will feature distinguished experts Dr. Ibrahim Arafat, Professor of Political Science at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, and Ayman Jada, broadcaster, sports commentator, and former Director of BeIN Sports.

This event marks the beginning of a new chapter in cultural activities at the Library, as the "Cultural Salon" will host a series of events throughout the year, featuring experts from a variety of fields. It further aims to support the country's cultural and intellectual scene, providing a platform for diverse voices and perspectives. It seeks to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where individuals can engage in thoughtful discussions and broaden their knowledge and understanding of the world.
