The Arab League Educational, Cultural, and Scientific Organization (ALECSO) praised on Monday the Gifted Arabs Initiative that has played a significant role in supporting talented individuals across all Arab countries.

The initiative is organized by the King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba) in collaboration with ALECSO, which held a General Conference in Jeddah on Monday.

The event was attended by Minister of Education and Vice Chairman of the Saudi National Committee for Education, Culture, and Science, Yousef bin Abdullah Al-Benyan, as well as ministers and heads of national committees for education and science from 22 Arab countries.

The initiative has been instrumental in creating an encouraging environment for talent and creativity in the Arab world for the third consecutive year.

It reflects the Kingdom's commitment to sharing its pioneering experience in discovering and nurturing talented students with the Arab world and supporting Arab youth in utilizing their energies and capabilities.

This is achieved through the development of a specialized assessment to identify talented and creative individuals in the Arab world, taking into account the diverse Arab environment and culture.

The assessment is based on a scientific methodology that incorporates the best global educational practices.

The Riyadh International Book Fair 2024 held a lecture on the role of camels in Arab history and culture, delivered by Turki bin Al-Ghanami, a member of the board of directors of the Saudi Society for Camel Studies.
Al-Ghanami highlighted the fact that Arabs have not coexisted with any animal as they have with camels, marking a significant turning point in their history.
The Arabs’ reliance on camels led to the growth of their trade, expanding across land and sea borders from the southernmost part of the Arabian Peninsula to beyond the Mediterranean Sea basin, Al-Ghanami said.
Thanks to camels, trade routes flourished, including the Incense and the Silk roads, and Arab livelihoods improved due to their reliance on camel milk and meat as their staple diet, he stated.
Camels have become partners in all aspects and details of Arab lives, he added.
