KUWAIT: In continued support of Kuwait’s arts and culture scene, Burgan Bank announced that it will be sponsoring select workshops among Dar Al-Athar Al-Islamiyyah’s (DAI) 28th Cultural Season, which is set to bring its audience a diverse and vibrant range of events and hands-on experiences for six months between October 2023 and March 2024. This sponsorship comes as part of Burgan’s comprehensive social responsibility strategy and committed efforts to inspire positive change across society.
Commenting on the DAI sponsorship, Kholoud Al-Feeli, Deputy General Manager – Marketing and Communication at Burgan Bank, said: "We are delighted to extend our ongoing support to DAI in their exemplary pursuit of cultivating the realms of arts and culture within Kuwait. With each ensuing season, DAI continually pushes the limits of creativity by engaging diverse segments of the community in Kuwait’s rich cultural heritage, motivating us to reinforce our support for this distinguished organization.”
"As part of our multi-faceted social responsibility program, we remain dedicated to supporting all cultural events and initiatives that aim to broaden society’s perspective and enrich their experiences by offering arts and culture in an engaging context that appeals to the different audiences,” added Al-Feeli.
During DAI’s 28th Cultural Season, Burgan Bank will be sponsoring a range of workshops this year and next. For 2023, the workshops include Contemplations on the Quran by Dr Ali Al-Yaqoub, which will be held between the 14th and 16th of November, and The Art of Arabic Calligraphy by Jassim Mearaj, which will be organized from the 12th to 14th of December.
Meanwhile, for 2024, The Skills of Speed Reading and Mind Mapping workshop by Maria Shoukry will be held between the 15th and 17th of February and The History of the Mamluks workshop by Bethany Walker will be organized from the 2nd to 4th of March. It serves to note that Burgan Bank’s commitment to preserving and showcasing Kuwait’s rich cultural heritage manifests in various efforts, on top of which is its people-centric Burgan Sidra initiative that draws its inspiration from the symbol of Kuwaiti culture, the Sidra tree, and the unique national talents who continue to put Kuwait on the global map of cultural destinations.
