New Ways of Seeing:
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.
