Economic, social and cultural rights program

In early 2018, Al-Marsad launched its project “New Ways of Seeing,” an interactive cultural program that aims to develop critical thinking, freedom of expression, and cultural identity among youth through interactive workshops in art, literature, music, cinema, and others. The program was implemented with the grassroots "Fateh Al Mudarres center for Arts and Culture." In 2020, Al-Marsad developed its project into an economic, social, and cultural rights program. This program is focused on cooperating with and assisting civil, cultural groups that are active in the public cultural field. This cooperation resulted in the achievement of the cultural festival "Jawlan Cultural Days - 1" after a contraction of cultural activities for nearly a decade. Al-Marsad and its partners intend to transform this activity into an established annual tradition.

Jawlan Cultural Days – 1
“Jawlan Cultural Days” is an activity by the community and for it, which aspires to celebrate its culture and arts; both are the condition of “awareness” and the field of its formation; while the song, the painting, the poem, the play, the film, the symposium, and the intellectual dialogues are its tools. An active cultural life revives the spirit in the public space, expands the scope of public freedoms, deepens critical thinking, gives social processes their positive meanings, and consolidates belonging to this land.
