The activities seek to shed light on the Jordanian narrative as one of the important pillars in preserving national memory and documenting historical and civilizational milestones, highlighting the components of Jordanian identity and the richness of its cultural and human heritage, in addition to promoting dialogue on the mechanisms for documenting this narrative and passing it on to future generations.
The program begins on Sunday, October 18, at 6:00 PM, with an opening ceremony featuring speeches by the Forum's President, Saleh Al-Jaafreh, the patron of the ceremony, Minister of Culture Mustafa Al-Rawashdeh, and the Forum's Director of Programs and Activities, writer Mirna Hatqaweh.

The activities continue on Monday, October 19, with an intellectual seminar titled "The Narrative is a National and Historical Necessity," presented by Dr. Baker Khazer Al-Majali and moderated by writer Etemad Sarsak. It will address the importance of the narrative in documenting national history, preserving collective memory, and enhancing awareness of the Jordanian identity and its foundations.
In the context of highlighting the tourism, heritage, and archaeological dimensions of the Jordanian narrative, a seminar titled "The Tourism, Heritage, and Archaeological Narrative in Jordan" will be organized on Tuesday, October 20. It will be presented by Professor Dr. Ibrahim Al-Kurdi, President of Ammon Applied University College, and moderated by writer Mirna Hatqaweh.
