Amman: The Ministry of Culture has announced a high-level dialogue session titled "Jordan: Land and People... Jerash, the City of a Thousand Columns and its Role in Building the Jordanian Narrative." Scheduled for 11:00 AM this coming Sunday at the Jerash Cultural Center, the symposium marks a strategic milestone in the Ministry's ongoing "Dialogues Program," a subsidiary of the broader Jordanian Narrative Project.
According to Jordan News Agency, this initiative is designed to codify the symbiotic relationship between the Jordanian people and their ancestral lands, with a specific focus on Jerash as a historical and cultural anchor. The agenda features a multidimensional analysis of the "Jordanian Narrative" - specifically its conceptual framework, strategic objectives, and anticipated social outputs. Participants will explore Jordan's historical depth and the unique contributions of the Jerash Governorate, ranging from its archaeological significance across various eras to its distinctive traditions, customs, and social norms.
The panel features a distinguished lineup of thought leaders and policymakers, including Minister of Culture Mustafa Al-Rawashdeh, Secretary-General of the Ministry Dr. Nidal Al-Ayasra, Dr. Omar Al-Ghul, and former Minister Mufleh Al-Rahimi. The session, moderated by Dr. Muhammad Al-Mahasneh, is open to the public, reflecting the Ministry's commitment to inclusive intellectual engagement and the promotion of a unified national identity.
