Al-Issa took the visitors to the Kuwait Times archives to take a look at the earliest editions of Kuwait Times and travel back through Kuwait’s history of news. Everyone was then taken to the printing press to get a closer look at the machines that print the newspaper. Kuwait Times’ press team gave a thorough explanation on how the printing process functions and the difference between the new and old printers.

Alnaqeeb then introduced the visitors to the artistic warehouse, where creativity and innovation comes to life. She explained the coworking space is where most of the initial planning, organizing and outlining takes place. The visitors were finally taken to the studio, where Al-Issa prepared a fun project for parents and children, where they were asked questions on how well they think they know one another.
