The national visual documentation project "Our Jordan in Our Eyes" concluded its third training stop in Tafilah Governorate today, following a seven-day program consisting of 45 training hours, which included three days of field applications with the participation of young men and women from the governorate.
Acting Director of Culture in Tafilah, Mahmoud Al-Amayreh, stated that the field tours included documenting the most prominent historical, heritage, and tourist landmarks in the governorate, most notably the Tafilah Castle, the Archaeological Museum, the old villages in Sunaifa and Al-Namta, the Dana Biosphere Reserve and village, Rumman Camp, Ain Lahtha, Jabal and Ain Dana, in addition to the shrines of the companions Al-Harith bin Umayr Al-Azdi and Farwa bin Amr Al-Judhami, the wind energy project, Seil Al-Hasa, the Barbeita area, and Khirbet Al-Dharih, with the aim of highlighting the environmental and cultural diversity of the governorate through the photographic lens.
Al-Amayreh emphasized the importance of the project in documenting the national narrative through a youth perspective, noting that Tafilah constitutes an inspiring space due to its historical heritage and rich natural diversity, and praised the participants' keenness to highlight the cultural identity and tourism components of their governorate.
The participants valued this qualitative experience, which honed their skills in the arts of photography and visual documentation and allowed them to explore the landmarks of Tafilah from new angles, confirming the role of these initiatives in strengthening the connection of youth to the national identity and establishing their mark in creating visual content for Jordan.
The project trainer and supervisor, photographer Sami Al-Zoubi, explained that the initiative embodies the Royal vision in documenting the Jordanian narrative by empowering youth to highlight the human and natural details of their governorates, revealing that the project will move to its fourth stop in Jerash Governorate on the twentieth of this September, where about 200 young men and women have applied to participate, amidst efforts to provide the opportunity to the largest possible number of them.
It is noteworthy that the "Our Jordan in Our Eyes" project continues its field tours in various governorates of the Kingdom, in preparation for crowning its outputs in a final national exhibition that documents the Jordanian heritage and its aesthetics through the eyes of its children.
