King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language Launches Digital Toolkit

King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language Launches Digital Toolkit

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language released its digital toolkit under the theme "Proud of it”, as part of its preparations to celebrate World Arabic Language Day, observed annually on December 18.

The move aims to enrich the celebration of Arabic language in public and private sectors, as well as among individuals, and reflect the support the Kingdom and its wise leadership to the Arabic language, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Wednesday.

This initiative coincides with the World Arabic Language Day, declared by the United Nations General Assembly, which designated Arabic as one of the official working languages of the UN.

The day seeks to raise awareness about the history, culture, and development of the Arabic language through various activities and events.

The academy’s digital toolkit offers linguistic information, supportive ideas, and resources about the Arabic language. It aims to honor the language, elevate its status, support institutions and empower individuals working in the field of Arabic language ahead of World Arabic Language Day.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said this year’s celebration will be held under the theme “Arabic Language and AI – Advancing Innovation While Preserving Cultural Heritage”.

Saudi Ministry of Culture Selects 20 Research Proposals for Camel Studies Grant

The Saudi Ministry of Culture has completed the assessment and selection process for the Camel Studies Grant, which was introduced last June in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture, along with King Faisal University.

The grant targets researchers interested in camel-related studies, with a focus on boosting cultural research output in areas connected to cultural, social, and economic aspects through scientific exploration across diverse specialized fields in the camel sector.

Out of 405 applications from 15 countries, the ministry has chosen 20 research proposals that met the necessary criteria. The selected researchers will receive financial and scientific assistance throughout their research endeavors that will eventually lead to the publication of scientific papers, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Wednesday.

The grant covers six key areas: historical, cultural, social, economic, environmental, and health dimensions; the objective is to examine relevant subjects with modern concepts, theories, and methodologies.

The grant is part of the activities carried out under the "2024, The Year of the Camel" initiative, which coincides with the United Nations General Assembly declaring 2024 as the International Year of Camelids.

The grant seeks to encourage the study of the camel as a symbol of Saudi culture, preserve the national heritage, highlight the intangible heritage linked to camels in the Kingdom, strengthen national identity, and promote Saudi culture on the global stage.
