Al-Rawashdeh: The Jordanian narrative documents the story of the land and the people and strengthens national belonging

Minister of Culture Mustafa Al-Rawashdeh said that the Jordanian narrative represents a fundamental pillar in documenting the cultural and historical heritage stored within the Jordanian land, enhancing awareness of national identity, and consolidating the values of belonging and pride in the homeland among generations.

During his speech at the opening of the Fourth Cultural Conference, held under the title "Land and Man: Pillars of the Jordanian Narrative to Enhance Awareness and Consolidate Belonging," Al-Rawashdeh added that the conference title aligns with the national project launched by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II to document Jordan's cultural heritage and highlight pivotal milestones in the Kingdom's history.

He explained that the Ministry of Culture has worked to translate this vision into a participatory national cultural program titled "Hiwar" (Dialogue), which tours the Kingdom's governorates to enrich cultural content with the Jordanian narrative that brings together the story of the land and the people.

He pointed out that holding the conference at the National Library reflects the importance of this cultural edifice, which represents the memory of the nation and a cradle for the achievements of creators, through the historical documents, manuscripts, photos, films, and records it houses that document Jordan's journey and events over time.

Al-Rawashdeh indicated that the ministry has worked over the past period to launch cultural initiatives linked to national identity and the enhancement of awareness of place and people, by documenting the stories of Jordanians in the voices of their owners, which contributes to preserving the Jordanian narrative and passing it on to future generations.

He drew attention to the "Stories from Jordan" initiative, which aims to involve citizens in presenting stories about Jordan and its regions, and documenting national memory in a way that strengthens belonging and pride in the Kingdom's history.

In concluding his speech, Al-Rawashdeh blessed the holding of the conference, valuing the efforts of those in charge of it and the participants, and emphasizing the importance of the topics it discusses in shedding light on the relationship between Jordan, culture, and society.
